Copenhagen 18/10 2019. 44 cl can from Voldby Købmandsgaard (Web-shop). Silver can with drawing of close up bony, skull-like fellow with hectic eyes, a mustache smoking a pipe.
Pours unclear, golden yellow with a very big white head.Settles as 0,3 cm thick, lumpy layer of foam unable to cover the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is medium intense, acerbic and citric with a lighter sweetness of caramel and exotic fruit. Peach, sweet melon. Stronger acerbic Citrus and Lemon. Fresh and uncomplicated.
Medium carbonation. Thin, watery, lively texture.
Flavor is lightly sweet followed by a stronger, citric bitterness. Aftertaste is citric and bitter. Lingers for a bit. Semi-dry finish.
Pretty intensive for a Session IPA. Refreshing with a bitter twist.

Look:A little cloudy, murky golden brown with generous frothy head
Smell:lemon, pineapple, and a little hops
Taste:carbonated, banana, bitter faint hops
Feel: full-bodied but lacking character
Overall:OK beer, lacking in subtle flavours, too fizzy, would drink it again but not one I'd go looking for, more yawn than boom

500ml bottle poured into a glass. Pale straw colour. Not much aroma but taste is pleasant with some slight citrus and slight bitter after taste. Not a bad Irish Pale Ale and would recommend and try again.

500 ml bottle a Christmas present. Tasted at home in Offaly Ireland. Pretty high on carbonation with a bit of zing. Nice session beer. My first from Stone Barrel Brewing but looking forward to trying more.

Bottle at Brew Dock, Dublin, Ireland
A: The beer is clear amber orange in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a short white head that quickly died down, leaving lacing on the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of citrusy hops are present in the nose.
T: Like the smell, the taste has flavors of citrusy hops—oranges seem to stand out in particular—along with a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied and a little crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This IPA goes down very easily and can be considered sessionable. It isn't as hoppy compared to American versions of Session IPAs, but does have some nice flavors.
