Description
Both Kiwi Scott and Aussie Cam learnt how to make full flavoured beers as home brewers and then studied how to make these beers consistently at Versuchs und Lehranstalt fur Braurei (VLB) Berlin. Lured to Ireland by two Irish cailins and in search of good beer, they came up with an idea: let’s brew it ourselves!
In 2010 they established Eight Degrees Brewing at the foot of the Galtee Mountains and, after much work, stainless steel and (never ending!) research launched their first beer on an unexpecting world at the 2011 EasterFest.

Can split at the Tilt Tasting, Bingohame Convention VI, picked up from St Stephens News Dublin 02/07/22. Clear golden with a decent white cap. Nose is pale malts, yeast esters, breads, light sherry whisper, fruit rinds. Taste comprises bitter sweet fruits, caramel, grass, nutty, toffee, prunes. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol. Decent for a tripel ... doesn't run silly sweet and cloying like many of its ilk.
