Bottle from the Vineyard, Belfast. Appearance - golden amber with a nice fluffy head. Nose - oranges and cake. Taste - more cake, dried orange and other dried fruit - maybe plums. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly balanced finish. Overall - solid. I’d say this was a fruity Bitter rather than an Irish Ale.
