Messrs. Maguire Best

On tap at Messrs Maguire in Dublin. Pours a slightly hazy amber, orange with a slim, lacing white head. Aroma is a little funky, grain and noble hops. Flavor is a little better, malty and sweet with no hint of the funk in the nose. Solid finish, easy to drink.

Tap. Small white head, pale brown body. Hoppy aroma. Dry and bitter, but lots of fruits too. A spesial sweetness. Pleasant fruity and bitter flavour. The bitterness is well balanced, not too much. Tiny hints of coffee? A pleasant bitter, a bit unlike other bitters. (Messrs. Maguire Pub, Dublin, 05.05.08)

Firm nitro head over a fairly dull beer. Pale lager-lookalike. Like one of the nitro canned beers from the big UK brewers - Boddington, anyone? A ghost of flowery hops, a hint of saccarine sweetness, too.
