O’Malley’s Kilkenny Export Ale

Peterborough Beer Festival...ages ago - just found the rating slip. This beer is clear amber with a small bubbly head. Aromas are toffee, spices and hops. Flavours are pear, toffee and an earthy character. Dry on the finish. Good stuff.

Sampled on cask at Market Porter in Southwark along with SilkTork. Pleasantly honeyish sweet, fruity aroma, perfumed and lightly citric. Light-medium golden color, clear, with a head that diminished entirely. Flavor is indeed vaguely cidery and fruity, a moderate amount of malt sweetness is present, with a nicely hoppy, floral, balanced finish. Palate is virtually free of effervescence, body is medium. Refreshing and unique, highly drinkable and better than anticipated overall.

Market Porter, Southwark. Golden lager appearance. Cidery nose. Soft caramel. Herbal. Cider finish. Very pleasant.
