Bottle from O’Brien’s, Athlone [260616]
Caramel brown, light haze, thin bubbly head
Aroma of soft sweet caramel, soft dark fruits
Taste of caramel malts, hint of chocolate, soft dark fruits, soft toffee, simple flavours
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, soft sweet. Finish of caramel malts, quite fruity
Overall - Comes across as a simple English brown malty bitter - I think this would be much better on cask

Draught Small white head over cold-hazed golden beer. Very demure nose, some malts. Metallic bitterness, going over into rosewater and ureum. Harsh, unrefined. Astringency, light body for its ABV. Not to my liking, I’m afraid.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks Tom L. Hazy yellow. Aroma of chalky/dusty malt, and some hops. Flavor has sweetish malt, a bit chalky, a bit of vegetal notes, graininess, and a bitterish and slightly hoppy finish. Light-bodied.

Amber, clear, thin bubbly white head
Aroma of sweet pale caramel malts, touch of sweet honey, not that hoppy, mainly sweet malts, slightly buttery
Taste of caramel malts, some citrus hops, citrus zest, getting a slight buttery note and the fruits are a bit non-descript, more hoppy than the aroma, mainly fairly malty but overall quite good
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, bit oily, quite sweet, some bitter zest. Finish as main flavour, some zest, sweet malts, ok getting a bit of spicy hop in the finish
Overall - Not a bad beer, but I’m not sure what it’s trying to be - maybe I’ll pick up a bottle and compare
