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.

Lattina. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è decisamente amaro. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al palato finiscono impressioni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, erba, agrumi, pompelmo e ananas.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Grassy aroma with soft fruity hops, malt, floral notes, some grapefruit and citrus. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a mild bitterness. Body is medium. Drinks more like a mild APA or hoppy Golden than an IPA, it's a bit mild overall.
