3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewery. Pours with almost no head and has a clear and low carbonated golden body that is actually very pretty. You can tell it is not a crappy pale lager just by looking at it. Bready aroma. Grassy hops that made me actually think that this was a lager. Slightly sweet taste. End is bready again. Fransiscan Well ought to have more customers and more ratings because they seem to be truly committed to good beer and its proliferation.

Golden and clear. Rather boring aroma. Surprisingly tart with some grassy hops. Ok.
2.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bull and Castle; Draught. Golden colour, white head, standard stuff, gassy bitter tasting with a very short finish. Not great but have to give them kudos as there are virtually no Irish craft brewers.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Golden yellow coloured ale, grassy hop aroma, with a grassy laggery hop flavour.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Rugby BF. A pretty hazy yellow coloured beer. The aroma has some unwelcome sourness and seems a little infected. The taste is more of the same and there’s a phenolic edge also. Described in the programme as a Kolsch style beer, and that’s from the brewery. I don’t get it myself.

Franciscan Well 17/05/06. Tastes more like a lager " not really a golden ale". Golden body, white head , didn’t turn me on but my partner liked it.
