on tap @ the Village Inn, Celbridge, Ireland .. . always interested in a craft lager, always!! .. . pours a deep gold .. medium head, lacing .. . touch of saaz, a beefy malt bill too .. . mouth was a bit grainy but a really nice brew .. . . i don’t have a chip in my credit card, sorry

Sample at the brewpub. Clear pale yellow-gold color with a medium ivory white head that recedes quickly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, malt and spice. Light body with flavors of grassy hops and grainy malt. The finish is short with a mildly bitter hops aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

At the source. Pours a translucent blonde with a small head. Has an interesting taste of character not like a lager... Not bad, but not what is expected in a lager.

Light head. Light and easy drinking. Good malt character. Bit of hop bite at the finish. Very nice overall and good for a session.

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

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.

Golden colour. The aroma has some pedio and maybe some straw notes. Mostly straw taste, mild bitterness. A bit fizzy in the finish.

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.

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

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.
