First sip allays my fears about it being a wheat beer. Its a bit fruity with sweetness of malt. I'm not actually detecting much in way of hops, but I'm not too put off. The whole thing is smooth as it goes down. I think I could stand more flavor in my beer, but this might be good if I was just sitting back and drinking with a buddy.
Drinking like a proper Irishman yields no significant differences - more beer is gone from my glass, but the taste doesn't really reveal anything different. it's possible I taste a bit of hops around the fringes, but don't hold me to that.
All told, this is a pretty decent beer. There just doesn't seem to be enough taste there for drinking... sigh ... all alone <sob>. But, I'm not alone! I have a dirty blonde!
3.0/5
