New Irish beer to start the Easter holidays! O’brother is a new brewery for me. So far the can design, beer and also the people behind the beers have been superb. 👁 Beer looks tasty especially from the brewery own glassware. Big white head you want to dive in. Can design is also cool and reminds me of the screen on tv back in the days when there was brake from shows. 👃Citrus and some tropical fruits. 👅 Taste has the same aromas citrus tropical fruit’s and hint of bitterness to balance. Forest and piney hits in the aftertaste and stay in the mouth for long. Lovely 😊 Overall really good beer and solid design, that I would defo buy if it would be in the stores in Finland. Hoppy Easter Pint Please people! 🐣

New beer in Pint Please. Best before 9.3.2022 Temperature: +10 C The can remind me about To Øls Gose to Hollywood. I'm not sure if it's a good thing that your label art brings some other brewery's beer in mind🤔 Nice, juicy-looking brew with a pale color. The head is large, lovely creamy with excellent retention. Damn! 5/5 The aroma is balanced between citrus and crisp grape aromas. Some piney and resiny hues add more crispiness. Still, the aroma manages to be smooth, curtesy of the oat malt no doubt. Just a touch more intensity would be nice but otherwise, the aroma hits the spot: 4,25/5 Mouthfeel is medium, nicely mouth covering with a good, strong but not over the top bitterness. Carbonation is on the medium level. Everything here works! 4,75/5 The taste has a citrus, oat, coniferous forest (piney and resiny) with some fruity undertones. Intensity is good, although I feel that those forest aromas are just a bit too dominating after a while. The aftertaste is bitter and lingering: 12/15 After the last night's disappointment, this beer is from a whole different world. Solid work. Not particularly spectacular but everything works on this beer. There really is no weakness. I most definitely want quality beers such as this in the Finnish markets. I think this is by far the best beer out of all these recent new Irish beer I've tasted: 17/20 =43/50
