Description
After years of talking about it as a family, the decision is taken in 2015/16 to make brewing the new family business. The family travel to various brewery manufactures and finally place an order for the system that is now in place in Kilcoole.Equipment starts arriving and the brewery is built and commissioned. Late 2017, test beers are put out at the Irish craft beer festival at the RDS. In 2018 Larkin’s formally launches into the market at the Alltech beer festival in March. Larkin’s is now distributed in pubs across Ireland as well as exporting to other markets in the EU.

Can shared by Steve. It pours murky burnt orange, some suspended particles and medium beige head. The aroma is sweet, oily, boozy, sticky orange, kumquat, resin, marmalade, mango salsa and hearty bread. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, tangy orange marmalade, kumquat, big ole kick of booze, earthy, toasty, caramel, spice, mango salsa and resin with a soft, sweetish finish. Medium - full body and moderate carbonation. A filthy old-skool big IPA. Brings me back to a time before NEIPAs and milkshake IPAs. Fun.

Can. Color: Hazy orange amber, off-white head. Aroma: Tropical fruit, hop. Taste: Over medium hopbitterness, accompanied by notes of tropical fruit, pineapple. Above medium body, dense and pretty smooth mouthfeel. Just below average carbonation. Lightly boozy. Long lasting fruity bitter finish. Very nice.

Hazy orange - gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts, a decent creamy sweetness blends well enough with a light and smooth coffee. Hops bring citric peel, slightly ripe orange and touches of pine and bitterness. Smooth semi dry finish leaves a mild bitter linger. Yeah - it's all right, pulls off the coffee element whilst delivering a decent dose of hops. Never sings though.

Can. Hazy amber - gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, a little thin, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth but somewhat thin creamy malts. Ripe fruity hops. Ripe mango and ripe orange. Touches of tangerine and tangerine peel. Smooth finish brings more pine. Smooth and tasty, but quite ripe, where is the hop brightness?
