Whitewater Belfast Lager

Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of hops and spices - among them ginger. The flavor is sweet with notes of cardboard on a lightly malty back ground, leading to a dry finish where the cardboard note lingers. Thanks KimJohansen for sharing.

Clear yellow of color with a white head. An aroma of hops, weak malt and dry notes. A flavor of malt, bread and bitter notes.

[2182-20090520] 500ml bottle. Not much aroma, some toasted straw? Slightly hazy, big medium-lasting foamy white head and a deluge of bubbles throughout. Wheat and straw and some toasted yeast flavour with a tart aftertaste. Medium body. Average, interesting to try.

2009-05-20. Dark yellow body with a good sized foamy white head and great lacing (3+). Flavour has a sweet pale malt base but has a lot of floral hops to it, pleasant bitterness grows a bit as you go, lingering floral hops. (6+) Hoppy aroma is very floral, noble hops. (6+) Average plus palate is very good for a lager. (3+) Pretty decent lager, but I am not partial to the hop profile. Bottle at Bierhaus, Cork

My wonderful wife brought this direct from Dublin. After a night in the frig and a hard day at work I treated myself to the single 500ml bottle of Belfast Lager. I’m a simple drinker of beer, i.e. not a ’taster.’ That said, the first few swallows had a mildly bitter edge. However, that was simply palate prep for a very enjoyable beer. The 4th sip on was wonderful and exactly how the brewer must have meant it to be.

Bought this 500mL bottle in Northern Ireland on a trip to Belfast and enjoyed it back home in Dublin. Pours a nice yellow straw color-light to let the light through with a tiny little white bubbly head that disappears quite quick. Smells great, much more aroma then you would expect from a lager. Some grass and hoppy notes with a tad of citrus. The hops is great in this lager and is the overwhelming factor. Slightly bitter with some light floral hints too-tastes great. Finishes slightly dry with a bit of bite to the hops and a little unbalanced, but overall is nice. I was quite impressed by this overall and quite happy-I haven’t tasted an Irish beer like this before. I’d like to see more of this around and hope that it all tastes like this!

Tasted at Bull & Castle in Dublin. Bottle. Refreshingly hoppy scent. Soft and pleasant taste with a good hoppy bitterness. Nice one.

scorcher of a summer day! ..does it even get warm in N. Ireland?? ... i can very easily see me drinking this in a N.Irish pub .. thanks mum for picking up this oddity .. i love the bitter content of this brew, very refined and clean yet still has enough bitterness to really make you think at every sip .. these guys would make a killer Pale ALe i would imagine...
