Strong pale ale. Light Copper in colour with a dense white head. A prominent hop bitterness greets the palate and then lets the Dark Caramel malt come in with flavours of dark toffee, raisin, and light toast. The blend of English hops compliment the flavour and aroma with notes of spicy-floral and fruit.
The name reflects the fact this is a beer using only Irish ingredients. Using a blend of six different hops, all of which were grown on the brewery’s hop farm in Roundwood Co Wicklow, as well as Irish ale yeast, Irish barley and Irish water, it’s a golden Irish ale with toasted biscuit, citrus and mild spice hop tones.
This Darker Saison is brewed a bit darker for the special occasion when the Moon creates a darker than normal day. Crisp, malty, spicy grain profile from the Munich and Rye malt with a herbal flavour from the Noble Saaz Hop along with the Tangerine fruity aroma from Mandarina Bavaria Hops. The Saison yeast really gives this style its wonderful spectrum of flavours & aromas; Spicy, Fruity, Peppery with a tart crisp dry finish.
Here’s to howling at the moon during the day. Cheers.
