Boyne Brewhouse - Irish Craft IPA - 6.8% ABV. This is a very hop forward IPA, with little balancing malts. Quite bitter which will appeal to all hop lovers (would love to see an IBU rating). Passion fruit aromas, mostly grapefruit on the tongue. Well worth a try.
First time to try out this brwery. This is an above average IPA, but not on the same level as some of the excellent ones we have all sampled. It has a good hoppy aroma and pours an amber color with a small head with a nice lacing as you drink. The taste is of course very bitter and hoppy with a bit of a malt balance and a nice finish.
Worth a try if you have not tried this one and I plan on sampling some more from this brewery.
apparently the holy grail of IPA's
