This is a rather plain affair and to be brutal, you'd be better off with a mainstream German lager than this attempt at brewing one in Dublin 12. The downside is that it doesn't taste or smell strongly hoppy in any direction. This isn't one of those, and tastes authentically noble and Germanic: celery, white pepper and nettles. I'm always worried when I see "dry hopped" on a lager from the anglophone world as it tends to imply citric American hops, which rarely works well. Although it's quite low in strength, it's a rich deep golden colour with a slight haze. We'll start light, with a 4.3% ABV Dry-Hopped Lager from Dublin client brewer Crafty Bear. Surprise! I couldn't go out without one more random round-up for 2019, and here it is: all the beers that, through absolutely no fault of their own, I drank recently but couldn't fit into the previous 11 posts. The Twelve Brewers of Christmas 1: White Gypsy.The Twelve Brewers of Christmas 2: Lough Gill.The Twelve Brewers of Christmas 3: Wide Street.The Twelve Brewers of Christmas 4: Rascals. ![]()
