Park Life

Tap to rate

Park Life is a Helles-style lager with a full body, first brewed together with a Dublin pub and now a fixed part of the range. In the glass it is pale straw with a loose white head. Light biscuit notes from the malt carry the flavour, with a subtle touch of citrus beside them, and the beer comes across as bright, refreshing and balanced. The strength is 4.9% ABV.
