Now on my Tap at Sheary's: Little Fawn by White Hag

It's no secret that I am a huge fan of White Hag. I've been singing their praises for a while now. Last year, I wrote about the way they burst onto the scene and changed everything. One year on, they are in my opinion still setting the standard in Irish craft beer. To me, they were the winners of the Irish Craft Beer Festival again this year. Their new beers were absolutely outstanding, especially the Heather Sour aged in a wine barrel and their new Oktoberfest beer. So far I've not tasted a beer from them that I haven't loved.

Anyone familiar with White Hag's beers will know that they usually pack a punch. 8% is not unusual for them. But this year, they have created a Session IPA that is a bit more forgiving and only comes in at 4.2%. I was excited to try it and to see how much flavour Joe would manage to squeeze into it. Of course there was no doubt in my mind that it would be a LOT. And it was. Little Fawn is an absolutely stunning beer that has so much taste, you would never guess that it's only 4.2%. It tastes like a full-on IPA with all the flavour you would expect. It has lovely grapefruit and citrus notes and is, of course, very well balanced. I think Little Fawn is one of the most flavourful session beers we have in Ireland. It's another cracking masterpiece from White Hag, but then again, I wouldn't have expected anything else.

I chose Little Fawn to go on my tap in Sheary's and it is going on TODAY! I will certainly be there later to enjoy a pint or 2 of this fantastic beer. Come and join me, it's Friday after all, you might as well!
