12. BEER MENU
Dark Ale €10.00
The nose is restrained and mild, carrying dark sugars,
alcohol, and raisins, but the palate really blossoms,
with deliciously rich flavors brought out by lively
carbonation, with mild esters and low bitterness.
There’s a spicy hint of alcohol in the finish.
IPA €14.50
A well-hopped black IPA with a light creamy tan head.
Aroma is of roasted malts with hints of gooseberry. The
beer has a sweet fruity flavour with a good roasted malt
and coffee bitterness.
Amber Lager €6.00
Woody, lemony hops with some floral character
contribute to a nose that is light but pleasant. An
intensely creamy mouthfeel presents a good pile of
flavor hops, unobtrusive malt, and good bitterness.
IPA €5.50
An intense citrus hop character jumps from the glass
here, with focused grapefruit and orange tea aromas.
Big bitterness is tempered only slightly by light malt
presence with big flavor hops.
Rye Ale €12.50
The flavour is markedly organic and natural, with a
simple but pleasing intermingling of hops and grain
blends.
Blond Ale €14.70
First, a refreshing, sparkling effect on your tongue,
followed by a mild bitterness enhanced by a spiciness,
that finishes with a sweeter sensation. A good nose
recognizes the hops, in combination with fruity esters.
Pilsner €13.00
True Pilsner style brewed with premium Australian
malt and authentic Czech saaz hops. Has a spicy floral
aroma and a clean rounded palete with a bitter finish.
Lager €5.5
The skunk is mild, though, and the light, sweet malt
supports a soft bitterness and medium mouthfeel with
some nice hop character.
