The luck of the Irish - great craic with a tasting selection

Location: home unwell

Moodmusic: Need soothing .......

Today's memories and soundbites
"I got really excited about the horse logging .... you should have seen the mud ... no I didn't have appropriate footwear ... I was so disappointed when we got there - through all that mud.  It was just a horse dragging a log!"

Isn't it great when you feel unwell that somebody calls you up and supplies a lovely warm meal and a clutch of beers they have brought back from a trip to Ireland to specially to share with you because they know you love ale so much!!  Blessed I am indeed.

Drinks

Reactions
Emotional: woow ...that’s a suprise .... should have got two bottles!
Critical: Nice crisp light carbonated pale ale. Lovely tangy fruity hop's and malt. Excellent light bitter hop finish.

Reactions
Emotional:  This is a thoughtful beer ...
Critical: Definitely a pilsner, but so much more body and depth than any other pilsner I have had.  Great toasted cereal flavours, with a very distinct bitterness, crisp and dry finish. 

Reactions
Emotional: Should have got 6 bottles of this!
Critical: Peaty. Seaweed. Complex. Chocolate towards the end. Medium bodied sparkling fizz which makes it a little thin but that doesn't make it any less delicious. Really, really enjoyed this.

Reactions
Emotional: Excellent
Critical: This is also a great full stout.  The flavour is deep, malt and some treacle burnt caramel.  Medium body.  Very dry finish which leaves interesting flavours in the mouth.
