K2, Ballyraine Industrial Estate, Aughavannon, Rathmullan, Letterkenny, Ireland
Description
At Kinnegar we pair brewing tradition with a contemporary sense of adventure to produce clean, crisp, full-flavoured farmhouse beers. The brewery is named after the nearby Kinnegar Beach
just north of Rathmullan in County Donegal.
Our roots are deeply embedded in the hilly fields and farms of northeast Donegal. This is the perfect environment for the way we make beer. We don’t filter or pasteurise, and we let our industrious little friends, the yeast, carbonate the beer naturally during fermentation.
With the opening of K2, our new state-of-the-art facility in nearby Letterkenny in March 2017, the clinking of bottles coming off our line no longer mingles with the bleating of sheep from the surrounding fields. The farmhouse ethos at the core of what we do however remains the same.

S'appuyant sur un cocktail fruits exotiques, pêche, herbes (a priori présence d'houblonnage à cru simple mais efficace), cette Thumper est globalement appréciable. Néanmoins une trop grande douceur et une amertume manquant de vivacité la limite largement et en font une IPA sans grosses prétentions. Le visuel est sur un joli blond doré limpide avec une fine effervescence et une mousse blanche nappant la surface. Le nez est sur l'alliance fruit exotiques, herbes et pêche. A l'attaque l'ensemble est doux ave en complément des touches de poivre et de miel. La deuxième bouche est un peu plus amère, mais insuffisamment avec une amertume qui manque de vivacité. L’arrière-bouche est plus herbacée mais trop douce. La corpulence est pour sa part très correcte. Le final montre un une petite lancée sur l'amertume, mais la longueur, trop courte nous coupe dans notre élan. Correct bien que poussif.

Moderate ipa for today's standards. Quite alcoholic and not that fresh taste.

Can shared in Canary Wharf - cheers to Fergus. Pours hazy orange with a creamy, off-white head. Lightly tangy, with hints of smoke, toasted grains, orange peel. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Interesting. Not bad.
