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!

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at the office on Wilton Way. Borough Wines, is t? Pours black-brown with a creamy, tan head. Mild roast in the nose, some dark fruits, dried berries. Light-medium sweet flavour, with soft roast, smooth chocolate, further dried berries, low bitterness. Nicely balanced finish, if a bit restrained, with subtly bitter cocoa, some earthy hitterness, leathery berries. Quite enjoyable, if fairly relaxed. Not much chili presence, though.

cannette 33cl. Dorée/paille, col blanc fin. Arôme au nez finement fruité et citronné, le tout est un peu ’watery’ avec un bouquet coriandre qui tend à prendre le dessus. Palais est malté pils, froment avec encore ce léger effet citronné qui apporte peu et est complété par un effet coriandre nettement plus devant. Le tout est ok, léger mais vraiment rien qui ne brille pour la sortir du lot.

Can sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks Tom L. Golden. Aroma of grains, bread, a bit of grassy hops, light oxidation note. Flavor has faint sweetness, grainy and bready, and a nice bitter grassy hops finish. Quite light-bodied. Decent lager, easy-drinking.
