Description
Mescan Brewery is named after Mescan the monk who was St. Patrick's friend and personal brewer. It is situated on the slopes of Croagh Patrick and is owned and operated by Bart Adons and Cillian Ó Móráin, two Westport vets who have been friends and colleagues for nearly 20 years. The pair spent four years perfecting their original recipes inspired by the beers of Belgium, Bart's homeland before starting to brew commercially in 2013. The water for Mescan beers comes from deep underneath Croagh Patrick via a spring beside the brewery. Malts, hops and yeast for the beer come from Belgium.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 05/07/22. Clear golden with a decent lasting white cap. Nose is fruit esters, bubblegum, light candied fruits, herb, light spice, touch of yeast. Taste comprises fruit cake, caramel, candied fruit peel, herb, yeast esters, kiss of alcohol. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Decent as tripels go ... good balance, not overly sweet and a kick of alcohol.

Clear golden beer, white head. Bready, zesty aroma. Flavour has fruit, bread, a little spice, some hops. Nice bittersweet finish. Far, far too easygoing for 8%.
