Draught at Bierhaus. Pours a nice hazy golden colour with a medium white froth that lasts. Nose of citrus, freshly cut grass with a floral hint - very appetizing. Taste is a lightly balanced malty sweetness to begin with followed by a a big hoppy bitter kick. Nice lively carbonation yet maintains a smooth mouthfeel. A very good Irish attempt at an APA.

330ml bottle. The worlds liveliest head! An average golden beer, not very moreish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle 33cl bought in Cork, a cloudy copper beer with medium head. Nose is on fruit hops such as apricot, mangoo. Aroma is medium malty, high bitterness, lot of fruit notes, lemon, oranges, bitter apricot, peach, not bad.

330ml bottle. Clear, dark gold with a nice frothy white head. Sweet malt, citrus, sweet fruit and floral notes in the aroma. Flavour is quite bitter with a muted biscuity malt background. Quite light bodied and a bit lively in the mouth. A decent beer.

330 ml bottle. BB 00/00/13? From Dublin, Ireland. Thank you Mikko! Cloudy golden colour with small white head. Yeast, candy floral hops and mild maltiness. Flavour is yeasty and bitterish floral hoppy. A bit unbalanced. Bitterness in aftertaste. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

This brew is a slightly hazy amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Light-bodied with a mildly bitter hops character and notes of grainy malt and fruit in the background. The finish is lightly hopped with a short fruity aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Bottled at L. Mulligan Grocer, Dublin. Hazy deep golden, rich head. Hay-like hop aroma. Mid sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Lots of hay, salty bitter finish. Nice hop flavour. but too clean and shallow malt character.

Bevuta sia in bottiglia vhe alla spina...non male...anche se non proprio un american pale ale...

Bottle. Appearance: Hazy orange, thick, proud snow white head. Aroma: Grassy hops, malty, grain, a little citrus, a little pear. Flavour: Bitter at first, quite a decent amount of hoppiness, good malty sweetness, pears again, a little light on the mouth feel but has a long enjoyable bitter finish.
