Mother Kelly’s. Keg. A somewhat murky looking gold beer, short pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and crisp. Light pale malts, trace of dry creamy sweetness. Mild seltzer in the mid and a carbonated nibble. Whisper of something tropical before a sharply crisp finish brings a brief flash of citric peel bitterness. Easy drinking.

Medium sweet flavor with minimal bitterness, some bready malts, more orange, some papaya, mango, faint piney hops. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; OK condition. Sweet on the finish with some sticky pectin, more ripe orange, mango and papaya, light pine, bready malts. Kind of one-dimensional but tasty and very drinkable.
