Bottle from Supervalu, Longford [240217]
Golden amber, soft haze, thin bubbly head
Aroma of tart dull lemon, hint of sweet fruit, not much going on
Taste of fairly tart lemon fruit acid, some vague fruit in there, very light pale malt base, no rhubarb, no sloe, almost like a bland lager with fruit acids thrown in.
Palate - Medium carb, light body, acidic. Finish is dry, light fruit, dull acidic lemon
Overall - Just tart acid, dab of fruit, found this boring tbh. Disappointing collab - they should have done a stout

Draught at pub in Sligo. A very tasty beer that just loses it in the aftertaste which is far too bitter.

Draught at pub in Sligo. An incredibly bitter ale that somehow doesn’t linger on the tongue. Nice.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Amber body with a light haze and a medium off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of biscuit, caramel and peach. Flavour of pine, orange pith and a hint of mango. Thin to medium body with a light, fizzy mouthfeel. Sharp and straightforward. Decent.

Bottle from O’Brien’s, Athlone [051216]
Black, tan head, large yeast particles
Aroma of roasted malts, soft burnt toast, light fruit
Taste of roasted malts, dark malts, dab of dark chocolate. Fairly rich malts, but expected a bit more flavour for the abv.
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, soft bitter roast, soft sweet. Finsh is quite dry, getting some very soft fruit notes now, roasted malt
Overall - Not keen on cherry, so good for me there is not much of it in here. OK. Bit underwhelming TBH
