Harp Lager

Brewed by Dundalk (Diageo)
Style: Pale Lager
Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland

Served very cold at a pub near Dublin. Aroma isn’t much, just grains, nothing offensive though. Colour is off-gold and not too appealing. Taste is a typical lager wtih grain notes and an average mouthfeel, which makes sense, as this is a decidedly average beer.

TAP: Weak attempt at beer - intended for the mass market. Light gold pour, typical lager nose and taste, some Corona-like funk to the taste, but definitely more flavor than American macros.

Draft. Nose is sweet and slightly metallic with hints of bready malt. Flavor is first the off-sweet of the nose with some hay, then a hit of (unpleasant) sourness and acidity that just ruins any positive things it may have had going. Perhaps this places lines are fouled, but this was not good...

A mediocre lager in a mediocre style. It’s not bad and probably better than American macros, but that’s no high compliment. I used to really like euro lagers. Now, they’re just boring macros, not so much bad as mild, sour and lacking the depth of a good beer. The nose is average but not nearly as poor as some macros. The taste is somewhat worse. It’s all cheap but honest malt and thin sourness. The feel is mildly watery, but it prickles with carbonation. It’s not an undrinkable beer. I’m just not sure that I would want it as my first bottle of the night.

Gold with a frothy cream head. Nose is grassy malts and an uncertain sweetness. Watery palate with a heavy sweet malt flavor and a grassy finish.

Pours a beautiful pale gold crowned by a huge white foaming head. Aroma is hops and grain. Medium bodied, this beer is light tasting, delivers a clean, crisp not overly flavorfull taste. Not bitter or hoppy. Pairs well with light or mild dishes or sandwiches.

Very good, althoug tipical lager. very refreshing, and gives a very short bitter palate. Crisp. Ok.

Clear pour. A very dry beer. The flavor has a crisp, grassy-yeast, flavor. Somewhat bland.
