Where's your hops at?
Back when new Irish pale ales cascaded onto the market on a near daily basis, I started a programme of reviewing them in big batches, for efficiency. Today, new ones still get collected this way, but it seems to be taking longer and longer to gather enough for a new substantial post. I began drinking today's baker's dozen in early March. First up, it's a brand new brewery for me. Great Eastern Brewing has been running a taproom bar in Wicklow Town for a couple of years now, but this is the first time I've seen their beer canned. It's called simply Citra Pale Ale and is 4.3% ABV. They've gone haze, and quite a deep amber colour with it. The aroma is bright and fresh, all zested oranges with a hint of vanilla.

It’s noteworthy as, unless one is very deep into the wine trade, you’ll probably never have heard of the grape variety, Pirene. It’s part of the variety recuperation program that the family started over 40 years ago to find seemingly ‘lost’ varieties across Catalunya. The reason behind this was and continues to be in order to find different varieties for use in a changing climate. […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription .
