Had a metalman yerba and thought it wasnt very nice at all. i think its the same yeast that they use in their cameleon range which imparts a non plesent spicyness.

The chameleon range is about 10+ beers at this stage, and they all use their regular house ale yeast (apart from the lagers). Yerba has orange mate in it, which is probably where the spiceness you're talking about is coming from. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerba_mate

Redwillow Ageless Double IPA.

Smelled very fruity when pouring and had a nice dark orange colour.
Nice hoppy beer but it had a unusual bitter finish.

It wasn't my favourite DIPA I have to say.

N17 rye pale ale in farringtons. extremely sweet and that really detracted from the beer.

I've had this beer on a few occasions also and have to agree. It lacks the spicy, crisp bite I associate with rye beers.
Its not a bad beer per se, but when they have rye on the label, I want rye god dammit

Am I right in saying some Brew Dog beers smells/tastes of grapefruit? Had a couple at the weekend and that's what I got from both of them- nice actually.

Coisbo Four Russian Imperial Stout. 10%

Yeah, I think I like this one.

Ah yeah, a lot of hops will create grapefruit and other citrusy smells, alright.

OFAF on cask in the Brew Dock. So good.

jsa112 · 08-04-2014 08:54PM

Dungarvan's mahon falls, quite tasty. Good value at 3.20 per 500ml bottle too. Will definitely get this one again

Herb Powell · 10-04-2014 01:53PM

Found a shop stocking Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier, fecking sorted. Also picked up a Westmalle Tripel, a beer I've somehow never tried yet.

irish_goat · 10-04-2014 01:54PM

Irish beer is finally arriving in Derry off licenses, have some O'Hara's IPA and Kinnegar Yannaroddy waiting for me tonight.

BaZmO* · 10-04-2014 03:26PM

Saw this in my twitter feed yesterday and thought it was pretty cool.

We've come a long way!

schemingbohemia · 10-04-2014 03:35PM

Where is that photo from?

Trying to figure out what they're missing....Kinnegar? Mountain Man? any others?

Desmond's in Kimmage. Not exactly flying through the Kinsale Pale Ale, by the looks of it.

drumswan · 10-04-2014 06:40PM

Drinking a To Ol I've Seen Bigger Than Yours, a 14% Raspberry Barley Wine, as a big fruit beer fan Im really enjoying it.

adamski8 · 10-04-2014 06:57PM

Had a few sweetmans pale ale and it was great, im still worried about their porter. Had a hophead too and that is still on the money

Ravelleman · 10-04-2014 07:13PM

I quite like Hophead on cask but on keg I find the carbonation to be much too strong for my tastes.

Pretty sure the 330ml bottles of Kinsale Pale Ale are all dated 31/3/14 as well...had a bad one down in Cork a few weeks ago.

gallag · 11-04-2014 08:05AM

Mcewans champion 7.3 in tesco four bottles for £6. Quite nice, burnt caramel sweetness, good foamy head with good retention, very dark with a slight red note lightly carbonated. 4/5

Are they the plain light blue label as opposed to the 'I can't believe it's not Brewdog' label?

Distressed lettering: so over

Yeah, the light blue 33cls are the original batch, brewed at Eight Degrees last year.

Had a couple of Amber Ella last night for the first time...words fail me on how much i liked it

Have to agree. Missed it the first time around, and since trying it a few weeks back, it's become my 'go to' beer when I can find some. It's just a pity it's not a permanent fixture, or sold in 500ml bottles. Would love to try it from keg/cask.

Had a pint the other day. It's pretty much identical to the bottle, I think. You just get more :pac:

'More' is one of my favourite qualities in a beer. Where did you find it in larger quantities?!

Loads of pubs in Dublin seem to have had it on keg lately. It's part of the Porterhouse's Irish festival line-up at the moment which is where I had it, but I've seen it recently in Farrington's, The Beerhouse and 57 The Headline.
