Had on-tap at the Brewery in Dingle, Ireland. Poured into a pint glass.
L: Pours a clear light golden color. 1.5 fingers of white head.
S: Mild bread/malts. Faint noble hops.
T/F: Not much going on here. Medium to thin in body... a bit of bready malts to open with. A bit of floral/herbal hops at the finish. Nothing terribly unpleasant, but nothing to recommend it either.
O: A below average lager. Maybe okay with a meal. Maybe... but there's pretty much no reason to drink this beer. I'd probably rather have water.

Great lager, so much better than the high selling lagers from the big brewing companies. Czech hops are used, which can be tasted.

Pours a clear gold colour. Smells of earthy, bitter hops. Tastes of dry malts, not sweet, mainly earthy, bitter hops . Slightly bitter finish. Not much to it, but a decent, crisp, dry lager.

Half of the reviews on this one are driving me up the wall. People are paying absolutely NO attention to the style.
An Irish lager, brewed true to style, is light, crisp, and clean, with a little burst of hops mid-palate followed by a slightly yeasty finish. That's what it should taste like if you brew it right. It should
And Dingle did. They nailed it. Absolutely nailed it.

On-tap 3/18/2016 at Flynn’s in Mansfield, MA, served in a tapered pint glass.
A: The beer is a deep gold color, with a short white head that fades slowly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is faint but contains lager yeast, light caramelized malts and a touch of hops, but not much else.
T: The taste starts out sweet with mild flavors of honey and a thin malt character. Then some lager yeast breadiness comes in. The hops presence is very mild but brings some balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet and slightly bready.
M: Crisp and a little smooth, light-to-medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
O: A little tasty, goes down ok, not too filling, mild kick, decent representation of style, this is just a mediocre beer at best.

Sample. I believe it was from the tap. Pale yellow color. Aroma is light. Some yeast, some grass, some sweet adjunct malt. Flavor is very similar. All elements are fairly mild. Lager yeast with a bit of skunked grass. Pale maltiness that turns into an adjunct corn flavor. Very light bodied. Bubbly. Somewhat crisp. Haven't had many Irish imports so I can complain.
