On cask at W J Kavanagh's, Dublin.

Platinum blonde with steady white head that webs. Lagery lean grain nose with some metal and a bit of nut.
Dough, sour peach and crisp Sauvignon Blanc grapiness.
White vinegar finish and spicy linger. Thin, soft, light.

Insipid. Watery, no hops, and way too tart. I'd like to imagine there's NZ hops in there to explain the astringency, but more likely it's a bit of acetic - but this is not a good blonde regardless of condition. You might get away with something this flaccid at 3.8%, but at 4.5%, a crime.

Brewery out the back of a pub without even their own website, so what did I expect, really?
