A light haze on this gold beer, tiny pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, a very mild dryness, reasonable fine minerally carbonation coming through on the back end. Light malts, a pleasant creamy sweetness, quite sweet actually. Good cooling pine hop intro into light but bright hoppy citrus and tropical fruits. Finishes light. Nice job, doesn't have the pure hop intensity of anyone of the top brewers, Track, Phantom, Cloudwater etc, but it does deliver a layered and bright hop fruitiness that is quite charming.

En pinta, color oro ambarino,velada, espuma nácar de buena conservación. En nariz un olorcillo agradable a fruta de hueso, hierba, uva, mistela, azúcar moreno. En boca es suave, pero con cierto puntito jugoso, notas afrutadas y ligeramente herbales, amargor medio, dulzor de fondo con notas de malta...En general una cervecita nada complicada pero que se disfruta bien fácíl, de las que entran solas y sin ser nada del otro mundo tiene algo que la hace resultona

440ml can from Craft Central, drunk at a lodge in the Wicklow Mountains. Pours an oily black, creamy tan head. Welcoming roasty vanilla nose, strong roasted malt on initial sip, super smooth, revealing vanilla latte suggestions. Quite flavoursome and rich. Like it.

0,5 l bottle. Pours copper amber with small off white head. Aroma of spices cinnamon , some malt and caramel in the background. Taste is medium sweet and low bitter. Flavor is all cinnamon. Finish is long, not really pleasant spicy cinnamon bitterness. All cinnamon, boring and downright unpleasant finish.
