Description
Founder of Dot Brew, Shane Kelly, has made a name for both himself and his brand over the last few years through a keen passion and love for experimentation when it comes to his brews, most notably in the form of barrel ageing and hybrid styles. The Dublin based brewer has carved out quite a niche, developing a unique style and approach which has helped put Dot Brew at the forefront of the Irish Craft Beer scene. While the beers are brewed in various microbreweries in and around Dublin, they are then brought home to Dolphin’s Barn. The site is home to about 50 barrels in a small warehouse which Kelly refers to as his ‘spice rack’, with casks ranging from French oak, Mexican tequila and American bourbon, to name but a few.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - cloudy orange with a beautifully proportioned creamy white head. Nose - general fruit salad thing - canned orange, apple and something a bit stone or tropical fruit. And there's a lightly earthy undernote. Taste - apples, oranges and a hint of banana this time. Palate - creamy in texture, medium bodied. Balanced bitterness with a decent linger. Overall - very nice.
