Description
Ireland Craft Beverages (ICB) was established in 2014 to accelerate the gap in bringing a true taste of rural Ireland, to the world.

DOWNSTREAM is a collaborative brewing project utilizing cutting-edge technologies to allow consumers to verify the processes behind each brew. Our Global Product Authentication Service (GPAS) is integrated into all product labels to allow us to reveal the authenticity behind the breweries provenance from barley to bottle, so you know for certain that what you’re drinking doesn’t just taste fantastic, but is real, honest to goodness craft beer. A true mix of artisanal brewing methods honed by generations and the powerful spirit of today’s digital technology, every aspect of this beer has been carefully recorded and written into the audit trail as a guarantee of transparency and authenticity.

Аромат солодовый, немного странный и горький, с цитрусовой начинкой. Солод как у пилзнера, но под шапкой хмеля. Цвет немного мутный, но золотистый. Вкус мне не зашел вообще. Очень горький, с солодвым основанием, но тоже терпким. Не вкусно, очень горько.

Can. M&S. Reduced to a quid and a bit. Hazed gold. Fairly thick, messy white foam. Nose has floral hop. Sticky citrus. Some pine. Clean and crisp malt. Taste is light, crisp bitter. Taste is similarly bitter, and a little dry. Light to medium body. Sharp carbonation. Lingering bitterness to finish. Wasn’t supposed to be having a beer tonight, but after 6 hours sweating my balls off on 142s this went down a treat.

Can from Marks & Spencer, Manchester. Golden with a carbonation and a thick frothy head. Has a lager nose with a little more hop in its taste, but its lager characteristics are still dominant.

The M&A vouchers I got for Christmas have been put to good use. Floral and pine aroma. Low key. Opaque pale amber gold. Thick white foam head. Mesium bitter with a kick at the end before a tough if sweetness into the finish. Grapefruit which I do not particularly pick up in the aroma. Thin bodies. Light. Fizzy carbonation. Dry astringent finish. Refreshing. One of those IPLs which to me may as well be a Session IPA.
