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.

440ml can at home. Pours a deep golden yellow, decent white head that sticks around. Nose is all tropical fruit hops and sweet bready malts. Similar to their IPA with the added abv for a DIPA. Nice bitter finish

440ml can at home. Pours a deep amber, thin white head dissipates quickly. Nose is complex mix of spicy buffalo sauce, slight bit of espresso, hop cones. Flavour is hoppier than the aroma, some complex resin and hop flower flavours with the rye spiciness. Really an interesting mix.

440ml can at home. Pours a murky yellow-white, thin white head. Big juicy hop aroma of pineapple, passion fruit, pomegranate. As most session IPAs do, the flavour is underwhelming compared to the aroma. Thin and watery facsimile of the aroma. Quick bitter finish

440ml can at home. Pours a clear yellow gold with medium white head. Floral hops, corn, hay, some lemon rind in the aroma. Lovely refreshing mouthfeel of slight bittering hops and hay. Huge moreish quality here, could neck about 10 of these without blinking.

440ml can at home. Pours a hazy orangey amber with a seriously thick large white head. Traditional saison aromas of spice, brown sugar, lemon zest, biscuits. Mouthfeel is a little overly carbonated but very full. Taste is same as aroma, I’m not getting the melon or strawberry but definitely the lovely spice, brown sugar and lemon. Nice dry finish.

Keg at Underdog, Dublin, 24/09/18. Hazed golden orange with a well presented off white head. Nose is orange pith, sweet malts, grapefruit, light pine tinkle, bitter sweet tropical fruit esters. Taste comprises pineapple, juicy citric flesh, cantaloupe melon, grass, light pine, soft breads, mango. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced juicy hop bitterness. Decent easy drinking IPA.
