Commercial Description:
This is an exciting new style of beer that we call Irish Pale Ale. This delicious beer is pale in colour, has a full well balanced hop flavour and aroma, a good foamy head, a carbonation level similar to standard lagers. Now you can, of course, make it as complicated as you like by adding various chemicals and preservatives to the beer so that it ferments and matures faster, has a longer shelf life and is cheaper to produce. However, as a small independent craft brewery, we believe in using traditional techniques and think that only the four basic ingredients of beer should be used to produce this wonderful, thirst quenching, “magic potion”. All we want to do is produce a pure and natural beer for the Galway market. Nothing more.

Cask. Poured a pale amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma had notes of citrus and pine hops. Flavor was hoppy for the most part. It began with the citrus hops and ended with the pine.

nice amber look. strong fruity smell. a high fizz which helps mix the different flavors of hops, citrus fruit and straw. innitially a bit sweet but finishes with a solid bitter taste giving it a kick.

Draft at various locations across Ireland, as well as sampled at the brewery. An orange-amber brew, typically with a nice frothy top of foam. The aroma is very fruity, but the beer primarily delivers a bready maltiness, with an almost caramel glaze, but finishes with a nice light bitter twist. To be considered the vanguard of what we can only hope will be a craft beer revolution in Ireland. (#3660, 9/10/2009)

Draft. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops on a lightly malty back ground. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and citrusy hops, as well as light notes of butter, leading to a dry bitter finish.
