Our craft beer takes a little bit longer to brew than others. Selecting the finest ingredients and handcrafting the traditional process demands patience. But 35 years? That’s how long we’ve been making our full flavoured beers, improving and perfecting them year after year. It makes us the oldest independent brewery in Ireland and those who drink our beer agree it’s been time well spent.

500ml bottle. Pours hazy gold with a tall white head. Aroma is sour berries, malt and phenols. Taste is light sour, berries, malt. Light bitter finish. Very strange and nothing that I expected. Probably a bad bottle.

Overly large white foamy head stayed on an unclear straw coloured body. Zesty citrus & peppery aroma. Medium bodied, lively with a cloying back. Citrus, bubble gum, yeast, herbal & spiced tastes with a property finish. Nice one.

330ml can from Beer52: BB Jan 2022. Drank at home on 2nd May 2021. Thought this might have some rubber or leather esters/flavours, but it doesn't! Light haze to the orange body, lasting white head. Grassy and citrusy nose, taste also citrus like with a grassy note or two, some hidden maltiness too.

330ml can via Beer52: BBE Feb 2022. Drank at home on 2nd Apr 2021. Poured a clean and clear amber colour, white head that faded fast. I liked the uncomplicated feel of this bitter brew. No citrus notes or piney traces, just a good old fashioned beer offering a good blend of traditional aromas and flavours.

Off white head on a hazy dark gold body. Punchy fruity aroma. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated with a limp clean back. Well balanced tasting with malt, pine, bitter & citrus.
