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.

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.

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.

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)

Draft. A golden beer with a huge white head. The aroma has notes of grainy malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw and grain, leading to a bitter finish, where the straw note lingers. The body is a bit light.

[2175-20090520] Tap. Mild celery yeast aroma with mild straw and cardboard rhubarb. Clear, light yellow body with a quick creamy white head. Bitter tart citrus pips flavour with a long yeasty aftertaste. Light-medium body is bitter. Has a bit of a dry punch.

2009-05-20. Crisp yellow body with a small white head. Flavour has pleasant moderate hops throughout, floral noble hops, light hoppy bitterness with just a touch of grassy notes. (6+) Aroma is mild to moderate, pleasant mild floral hops. (6+) Average to light bodied. Bit mild/light but pleasant, quaffable. On tap at Franciscan Well, Cork

Draught. Decent pour, good white head, and fairly durable with it. Mild hops on the nose, with some sweet malt and yeast too. Pleasant on the tongue, with rounded corners on the palate of cereal and hops. Decent lager.

Very nice appearance with its crystal clear and deep red-brown body. Sweet malty aroma carrying through to a caramel taste with weak hoppy notes. So and so (Cask, my first one, at GBBF, 05.08.2008).
