Poured from bottle. ABV rating of 4.3. Lovely light gold pour, almost lager like in appearance. Nice hoppy aromas and tastes great. Citrus, florals and hoppy goodness. Really nice Irish brew.

A smooth, bitter pale.

Cask at the GBBF 2008, gravity dispense. Yellow colour, minimal head. Moderate aroma with hints of honey and flowery hops. Reasonably hoppy flavour, hints of citrus, "dusty" hops in the finish. OK, but not really that impressive. Nice hoppy aftertaste though.

a: pale orange and yellow color with a nice, solid off-white head...like you could balance a coin on it
s: sweet grains, grapefruit, strawberry, malts, and a little cardboard and sweet earthy grains
t: light grapefruit, grass, and a little watery. sweet caramel, tea leafs, and a slightly floral presence. some light grassy bitterness towards the end
m: medium light with moderate carbonation
o: not bad, but a bit light. to me, it leans a little towards an English Pale Ale, but still good

Pint at a random bar in Galway.
Deep golden color with a decent sized tightly bubbled white head that persists. Bready lightly toasty malt with bits of citrus and earth to counter. Light butterscotch a little off-putting.

Had on tap. Found this to be a sticky bread pudding with some citrus hops. Sweet and bready for style, but it is tasty. Drinks in body more like a belgian blonde than a pale. Cloying sweetness on the finish. Smell adds some floral elements as well.

On tap at Peter's pub Dublin. Golden colouro, medium head with long retention, good irregular lace.
Aroma of grain, hops, fruity and ester notes, citrics.
Full body, dense creamy texture, lively carbonation, with bubbles coming up all the time. Bitter finish.,
Taste is hoppy, but malt is there too, grains, apples.
One to enjoy and repeat.
