Dublin Beer Views

A finely balanced wonderful beer Soft and round with 9.5% of kick. Gotta love Brooklyn ( big hint)

Has it really been this long So much beer, so many pics.... i shall atone

hmmm, grassy A strange one this a hoppy wheat with little or no banana flavour at all nice bottle, useful for the home brew....

The Daddy I had 2 bottles set aside for over Christmas, boy (4.5 year) smashed one playing football in the kitchen, poor mite nearly hit the roof when the bottle smashed. I've told him its coming out of his pocket money (he doesn't get pocket money yet!!!) So this one bottle was for savouring. My usual Special dealer (hmmm) has been out of stock for a while now, and I'm struggling to source a supplier. So this was kept over Christmas and never opened until I could resist no more. This is porter like you r great grandfather would have drank. PROPER. Long live the Special

Second trip to the wheat beer well delivered an Uertl special. I learned my lesson from Pale Ale night ad kept my known entity till last. Unertl create fanastic heavy weiss, this was a magnificent end to the evening. Chewy malt, light hop, biog body. Scrummy

Then there was the wheat beer night. Spicey, all the fruit hints you would expect and with a soft finish with a light froth I'd never tried this before, I was suprised

Sticking on a Pale Ale train of thought, I followed he Odell with the bottle of Blue Heron. Now it had a tough act to follow after the 5 Barrel special and whilst it couldn't quite match it, it still delivered Pale Ale with gusto. Slightly paler in colour and body it reminded me mostly of Brooklyn lager (which is the heaviest hopped lager I know - and love)
