Draught at Bloom. Rusty brown with a medium head. Aroma is peppery hop. Flavor is sweet fruity, chalky, lightly bitter. Really similar to what the new German brewers are doing with IPA, only better. Superb beer.

Bottle from Drinkstore, Dublin [030115]
Very dark brown, ruby edges, thin beige head that dissipated quickly to a thin rim around glass
Aroma of fresh ginger, quite spicy, dab of dark chocolate, bit vegetal, simple nose where the ginger dominates
Taste of fairly spicy ginger, some mellow roast, some dark chocolate, not much roast, dark malts, getting that vegetal edge from the ginger (it is fresh), some bitter cocoa nibs, not complex though
Palate - soft carb, medium body, perhaps a bit thin for the abv, soft sweet palate. Finish a bit dry, more intense dark chocolate in finish, more bitter.
Overall - Not bad, quite pricey for a bottle. The ordinary Ginger Porter seems a bit more balanced imho

Draught, very small but stable head, hazy light orange colour, with yellow hues, aroma of wheat and toothpaste, flavour of almond, toothpaste and some fruit, quite strong fruity sourness that is a touch unrefined, more a weizen then a wit. Quite average and not too exciting.

Bottle @ Post EBBC14 tasting at Norseman [290614] beers from BeersIveKnown. Cheers!

Aroma of soft caramel, soft berry fruits, touch of hedgerow fruits, slightly spicy
Taste of light caramel malts, soft red berries, soft sweet fruity malts, light soft citrus
Palate - Soft carb, medium body. Finish a bit dry.
Overall - Thanks for BeersIveKnown for carting a sample of this beer in a paper cup across the streets of Dublin...need to re-rate this one day properly...seemed to be quite a decent amber
