Description
Rascals Brewing was founded in 2014 by Emma Devlin and Cathal O’Donoghue.
The pair were living and working in New Zealand and developed a taste and passion for the booming Kiwi craft beer industry. In the spirit of adventure, they decided to change careers entirely and set up their own craft brewery back home in Dublin. Sure, why not?

Draught at Alfie Byrnes. Honey gold with a minimal head. Aroma of very light lemon. Flavour is oily wheat, lemon, a little bread, spice late on the palate, not sour at all. Tasty though.

Can. Amber beer with a strong head. The aroma is hopped with a touch of roastedness. The flavour is very well hopped with heavy maltiness and some roastedness and yeastiness. Overall a nice IPA. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

330ml can from trade with BeersIveKnown, whilst watching Hell or High Water at Cineworld. No comment on appearance as consumed straight from the can. Aroma is vibrant tropical fruit and citrus. Taste continues, with lots of sweet luscious fruits presented balanced and smooth. Good cinema beer this.

Can. Hazy gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts provide a mild sweetness. Pithy hops, orange and some mild bitterness. Smooth finish. Not really getting the best of these new German hops, but it’s okay.

Can from Beers of Europe. Pours clear dark amber with a thick white head. Aromas of light caramel and citrus. Taste is light sweet, faint bitter. Kind of a strong bitter rather than an IPA for me. Decent enough.

Dark amber, frothy white head
Aroma - hint of sweet caramel, light fruits, bit of pine hops
Taste of soft fruits, caramel, fairly bitter hops, light pine, not that hoppy
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, clean palate, fairly bitter, soft sweet. Finish of soft bitter zest hops
Overall - Quite pleasant but not a patch on their white IPA I had earlier in the day - decent enough but not one of their best

Draught at Beerhouse. Lemon gold with a medium head. Aroma of lemon hop. Flavour is light bitter, fruit and hop, dry bitter base, lingering fruity finish. Another solid one!

330ml can. Murky amber colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Caramel malty aroma, weak citrusy hoppy notes of orange, mandarine, a touch of grapes. Taste is slightly bitter hoppy, a dry touch of grapes and green apple parings, bitter zesty overtones of mandarine and orange, light caramel malty basis. Unconvincing.
