On tap at J.W.Sweetman, Dublin. The one I had was New England pale ale in my notes, so I guess this is the one. Unclear orange with white head. Hoppy, tropical fruit, smooth, sweetish. Vague bitterness.

Draft. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of citrus fruits, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, toffee, hops, and fruits, leading to a bitter finish
