Pours a hazy coppery amber colour with a small pale beige head that quickly settled. A fruity citrus aroma with a hint of pine. A bold citrus bitterness in the mouth; quite fruity, marmalade and dried fruit and again a hint of pine resiny hop bitterness in the finish.

Bottle from Supervalu, Longford [031216]
Reddish brown, clear, thin off white head
Aroma of sweet caramel, soft dark fruit notes
Taste of caramel malts, getting soft roasted malts, raisin, hint of dark chocolate, slightly spicy
Palate - Very soft carb, medium body, soft bitter, some bitter roast. Finish is dry with a bitter roast linger
Overall - Tastes better when swirled to get rid of most of the carbonation

Bottle at Marquette, Dublin T1, 06/06/16. Unclear reddish amber with a well presented beige cap that retains well. Nose is grapefruit, pine, caramel, candyfloss, orange pith, earthy hop dust, floral whisper. Taste comprises orange pith, bubblegum, red grapefruit, light spice, blood orange, pine needle, fleshy and sharp tropical fruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with hop bitterness. A really solid IPA ... kind of old skool US brewpub vibe but crisp and clean and laden with fresh tropicana and citric flesh. One of those moments when you pick up a beer not expecting much and come away with a smile and a solid 3.7 rake !!

Draught Small brown head over reddish foxy beer. Coloured malts, almonds, apples, bit of caramel. Caramel - lots of it, going to toffee, oversweet. Even more almond and bitter almonds retronasal. Bit of astringency, medium bodied and slick. Not really awe-inspiring Nollaig.

Draught Good dense, snowwhite head, fully hazy yellow beer. Clove, drain water, banana. Hopped Weizen flavours, with "some" banana, "some" banana, ... and meaty esters; solvent. Bitterness disturbs. Despite there’s also acidity, the balance is nowhere. Medium bodied, wheat-like slickness. This is, as said, a hopped Weizen, with a yeast problem.
