Had a bottle of Full Irish last night. Its a good beer but I don't get the big hoo ha over it. There are better Irish IPAs.

I think the new range is great, Grand Stretch is very tasty imho, far better than their first release.

I'm not a big fan of it in bottles. Its better on draft

What better Irish IPAs are there?

Voyager is definitely better, even in bottles.  I like the Wicklow Wolf IPA better too.

Agree with Johnnycheech on Grand Stretch though. Thats a great session IPA.

I find grand stretch just a bit too thin on body for my liking. I get it's a session IPA, but just seems to missing soul for me.
Fermenting: IPA, Lambic, Mead
Conditioning: Lambic, Cider, RIS, Ole Ale, Saison
On Tap: IPA, Helles, Best Bitter

1 is good, 2 is better, 3 is enough & 4 isn't half enough

I'm having a To Øl grisette. Found it in Donnybrook fair. It's fermented with brett and it's pretty damn tasty.

I'm not having anything at the moment (more's the pity) but one beer I've been delighted with recently is Aldi's new seasonal O'Shea's dry hopped amber ale. It really is very very nice with a decent hop bang. At €1.89 it would be foolish not to - and of course you can reuse the bottles for homebrew! The spiced winter ale (also an O'Shea's seasonal) was shite though....

Obrother Brutus, fantastic beer. You wouldnt drink 4 or 5 of them but its a kick in the face of flavour. Great stuff.

Watching the rugby and enjoying a bottle of Mad Hatter's gose style beer Liverpool Tart.

Really lovely blend of sour, salty and sweet. First impressions is salt and lemon and then the sourness comes through. Nice crisp malty grain finish just at the end brings it all together.

Apple mead tonight, after all the talk about mead on the forum today.

marzen scorsese

Hop adventure galaxy version from I haras how have I only tasted galaxy for the first time tonight. Very impressed for a single hopped beer off to mine the internet for recipes  ;D

Kinnegar Geuzeberry and Crossroads. Both very enjoyable beers if not a tad bit pricey!

Bo Bristle Amber. Not my sort of amber at all. Bland very bland.
