4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Light head. Light and easy drinking. Good malt character. Bit of hop bite at the finish. Very nice overall and good for a session.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nose is corn, weak yeast, bittersweet malt and set mediumbitter hops, feel is medium, carb is mediumheavy, taste follows nose with saaz bitterness in the end
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draft @ Bull and Castle, Dublin.
Dorée, col blanc.
Houblonnée et citronnée, nez fleuri de cône de houblon.
En bouche, une bière ayant le profile type de la lager, malt pale dont le houblon Saaz est bien présent. Herbeuse et légèrement amer, reste dans la lignée des nombreuses lager allemandes. Me rappelle une version améliorée de la Harp irlandaise, ce qui n’est pas fort glorieux.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden colour. The aroma has some pedio and maybe some straw notes. Mostly straw taste, mild bitterness. A bit fizzy in the finish.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draft @ brewpub. Clear golden with not much head. Aroma is a touch funky, moldy maybe? skunky? and yet not so offensive...soft palate with sweet malts predominating. Mushroomy and a bit sticky. The flavors are ok, bland but perfectly drinkable at first and then gets worse by the sip.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught at Bull and Castle Dublin. Yellow golden colour with a large head. Aroma is sweet fruit. Flavour is sweet with a light finiah. Gassy. Standard larger
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Draught at Bull & Castle, Dublin. Clear pale golden, small head. Fruity and grassy, sweet and light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Some salt, plenty of boiled vegetables. Slight bitterness. Fairly unpleasant macr-lager-like brew.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Had this so long ago I can’t really remember the details. Did not look the best. Was pale and without head. However, it was tasty enough. Will be back soon for a proper review.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught. Bull & Castle, Dublin
Pale straw body, white foam.
Hint of floral hop spice on the nose.
Lean body, quite high carbonation, clean texture.
Some pale malt sweetness on the body, floral hop herbaceousness lingers on quite a good bitter finish.
Not a bad pils.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft pint at the brewpub. Very light color and very active. Tornadic even. Bright white foam head. Extremely bright and lightly corny, very well emulating the more charcterless euro lagers. Well made but not for me. (#3664, 9/13/2009)
