First tried as “Kell’s Irish Lager”.The beer poured a translucent reddish gold colour with a thin off-white head. The aroma was grainy malt, some floral hops, and a nutty tone. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and medium carbonation. The flavour was similar to the aroma, with the grainy notes a bit more dominant in the taste.Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

The beer was a cloudy metallic gold in colour with a very white head. The aroma was citrusy in nature with some grainy malt. The mouthfeel was watery and medium carbonation was apparent. The taste was quite diluted with some citrusy tones and a little malt. Quite disappointing really.Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9
