ONeills-O Brother Brewing the Chancer

My parents made their way out to Dublin this past weekend and we decided to go out for a nice Irish dinner at ONeills Pub. What makes this place unique is that it has a cafeteria style line serving carved meats, stews, and many other traditional Irish foods. This gives the place a bit more of a casual atmosphere and it was very busy this Friday night. The place also boasts a great beer list with a number of good taps.

This American-style Pale Ale poured a straw color with a thin white head, which held up fairly well. The aroma is nice and fruity, tropical, with hints of pine and a bit of dankness too to round out the fruity hop aromas. The flavor is similar too, starting with a creamy mouthfeel and a burst of fruitiness similar to peaches or other stone fruits. Then there is a bit of pine, which stays fairly clean, followed by another round of tropical fruitiness mixed with a biscuity and grainy flavor. The beer is not overly bitter and has a nice roundness to it before finishing slightly dry.
