Like blitzing down the Ballyhouras on your bike with an icy wind in your face, this Howling Gale Ale delivers a refreshing crisp smack around the gills. It is a refreshing Pale Ale hopped with American Chinook, Amarillo and Centennial hops. Characterised by a moderate hop bitterness, balanced with slightly biscuit and caramel pale malt body, it has a pleasant grapefruit and citrus aroma. Goes well with fish, chicken or anything of the barbeque.

    Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 9

    330 ml capped bottle, the brewer's gift. Poured in the original Eight Degrees stemmed tulip glass an unfiltered and light hazy golden-yellow coloured APA with a one finger light beige and soapy foamy head that had a long retention and tons of micro bubbles. Active carbonation. Good lacing. Some fine floating sediments. The aroma is flowery and resinous hops, fruity, citrus, grapefruits, pears. The flavour is sweety malts, fruity, citrus, grapefruits and green apples, hoppy bitter, with pine needles. The mouthfeel is crispy, rough and hoppy bitter. The texture is oily. This light to medium bodied APA has a lingering resinous hoppy bitter finish. A well balanced and tasting APA from the Green Ireland. With the roughness is raising a unique and awesome feeling of rurality. I like this Ale !
