sir_Pino (588), Zawiercie / Żywiec, Poland Sep 27, 2008 No 581 Rated on tap at the Polish seaside, Beamish glass, 500 ml. Very nice deep reddish amber, gently carbonated and clear in texture body with very nice, thick head beige in colour and almost creamy in texture, rather small in size. Aroma is of some gentle nuts with red fruit accents and flowery hoppyness on top contrasting with clearly distinguishable malt at the background. Very smooth, easy going, silky pleasant on palate and drinkable but not that impressive or interesting as some other Irish Ales I’ve tried. Lacking kind of spicyness and character. cellar (386), Dublin, Ireland Jul 23, 2008 Clear reddish amber, settles just like a Guinness, big lasting white head. weak aroma of ripe fruit, some malt, hops and pines developes in mouth.Sweet adn short bitter finish. whiteman1488 (18), New York, USA May 16, 2008 I had this beer on tap at the airport in Shannon, Ireland. I was on my way home from Iraq and hadn’t had a beer in 7 months, so I’m undoubtedly biased, but this was the best beer I’ve ever had. I’d like to taste it again to get a more realistic opinion, but they don’t sell it in America Hopdup (71), Tampa, Florida, USA Mar 8, 2008 I drank it out of the can without a glass. But it taset ok, Rich flavor sort of sweet. fiulijn (5880), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Jan 20, 2008 Nitro-keg at Le Sous Bock, Paris Amber color; creamy head (what else?). Smooth and with some caramel flavor, very light mild chocolate too, but too simple, also because of the nitro.
