Description
Metalman Brewing was born in 2011 when two beer enthusiasts decided they’d had enough of the outlandishly limited selection of beer available in Ireland, and decided to do something about it.

They started by contract brewing at a small brewery in Tipperary while building a brewery in Waterford city with a 6.5HL brewhouse. Draught Metalman started popping up in all sorts of places, and various brewery upgrades followed. At the end of 2014, they installed the first canning line at an Irish microbrewery, and cans of Metalman Pale Ale hit the shelves in January 2015. A brewhouse upgrade to 24HL followed later that year, as did various seasonal and limited edition releases.

Making beer is bloody hard work, but dammit it’s a lot of fun!

Barril, media pinta. Probada el día 27/01/2018 en "Manchester Camra Beer & Cider festival". Color ambar con espuma y carbonatación media. El aroma destaca por sus intensas levaduras, resinas y toques cítricos. En cuanto al sabor además de las maltas tostadas y dulces podemos distinguir el toque cítrico y floral. La presencia de lúpulo no destaca tanto como la de maltas. De fácil trago con un final moderadamente amargo. Next one please!

Can at home, 09/02/18. Faded crimson pour with a well presented off white covering that retains well. Nose is light red berry sherbets, straw, grains, hint of balsa wood, trace of white peppery spice. Taste comprises light cherry skins, tangy red berry, faint wood must, damp straw, very subtle acidity. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a modest puckering kiss. Passable simple sour ... better than I'd expected given some of the previous scores!
