Mountain Man Green Bullet 4.0% abv 33cl €2.69
Mountain Man Hairy Goat 4.5% abv 33cl €2.69
I reviewed the Green Bullet before and liked it although I did opine that the flavour was quite delicate and that the Hairy Goat might be a better bet for the gentleman (or lady) who prefers a bigger bolder pale ale. Let's see if I was right...
Green Bullet
This ale is quite pale in the glass, a slightly cloudy lager colour. As before the flavour is subtle but pleasant with some gentle hoppy notes, but the finish is a touch bitter. I suppose this would be a session ale at a light 4% abv and it's probably something you could drink a lot of, if you had a mind to.
Hairy Goat
This presents with a deep amber hue in the glass and there's a lot more going on here. Bigger, hoppier and with a fuller and more integrated hoppy finish. A solid IPA from the Corkmen.
Winner - Hairy Goat
There's not much in this, I have to admit but I'm going to go for the Hairy Goat because I prefer the bigger, beefier ales.
My next task is to assemble the 16 (currently 15) beers into a draw, and attempt to seed a few of my favourites...
*Both beers purchased from Baggot St wines
