    Picked up some of the Franciscan wells rebel red, really nice. It's just a pity they're 330ml bottles and not 500ml.

    Cracked open two bottles of Kinnegar Yannaroddy and it's really drinkable, the coconut essences and the gentle spiciness sitting on it make it just not too much of a session beer without making it a sipper. IMO these guys can do no wrong at all :)
    First person I've seen saying they can get the coconut!

    Now, I think it's a lovely stout/porter, but I've had a few bottles, and had it on tap and never detected the coconut.

    I've had it bottled and on draught, the coconut is really obvious.

    Maybe u got a dodgy bottle as I couldn't taste it all.

    Also at the time a friend was here and he tasted it also. After I told him about the coconut and he said he couldn't taste it either.

    Might get another one now to see.

    Anybody tried Crew's Ipa? My first time tasting an ipa from a German Brewer. Very sweet but not too bad.

    It's quite nice but reminds me a bit too much of Lilt.

    I don't know if it's in need of TLC, a clean palate, a certain temperature or what but two bottles and it was there for me. Given coconuts subtle and soft flavour I can well understand a lot of people missing it easy enough; I've missed essential tastes in some beers before.

    I'm having a Kinnegar Yannaroddy. I've tried it on draught before and couldn't get the coconut. It's slightly more pronounced from the bottle. Would I be able to tell that there's coconut in it if it didn't say it on the label? I'm not so sure. Still a really nice beer though.

    Finally cracked open my bottle of barrel-aged Leann Folainn tonight to have it with some cured meats, cheeses, crackers etc.
    Perfect for them.

    To Øl Dangerously Close But No Cigar. Made with Cedar wood chips. Smells like a wood workshop or like the smell you get when you open up a flat pack furniture box. Unfortunately the woodyness carries through to the taste. Nice idea but it's a shame it doesn't work. Tough to finish.

    A little bit of my insides died when I had that To Øl beer last night.

    One of the nicest, if not the nicest, beers I've ever had was acquired the same way.

    Double EXTRA Pale Ale? that would be DEPA, yes?

    Jaysis, wonder what the hell that is meant to be. Short of a DIPA? Should O'Hara's release a DEIPA?

    Would Double Extra be a treble or just less than a treble?

    Entertainment for brewers who make beers rather than styles :p

    I thought Pond Hopper was very good, but overpriced for what is -- the bottle I bought in England was even dearer than the price I've seen it at in Ireland.

    I'm enjoying a kinnegar yannaroddy at the moment but don't get any coconut hint at all. Aroma or taste.

    Stone Barrel Boom Session IPA nice beer but hardly any carbonation at all.

    Slightly sweet taste followed by a nice quiet bitterness.

    I had one over the weekend and thought it was really really nice. Similar to the likes of St. Austells Tribute or London Pride. Carbonation was ok though.

    Yeah that's what it reminded me of. I was sitting here thinking if loads of English IPAs . Tribute tastes very similar.
