Curim (or coirm) was originally brewed by the early Celtic inhabitants of the Barrow Valley in south east Ireland. Over the centuries this ancient brewing tradition was all but forgotten until its revival by Carlow Brewing Company. Bright and sparkling Curim Gold celtic wheat beer is brewed using a blend of pale malt torrefied wheat and caramalt. It is lightly hopped using Challenger, Mount Hood and Cascade varieties resulting in a refreshing light fruity beer with hints of peach, banana and plum. The perfect compliment to spicy food.

"Bottled. Golden colour, mediumsized fluffy white head. Aroma is vegetables, grass and slightly white bready notes. Flavour is fruits, earth and some wheat. Watery and not that exciting. "

"Thanks B...
Reviewed in 500ml Stella Artois glass.
Poured out a light, dirty gold brew with some stuff floating around and a decent sized crown with some retention and quite a bit of splotchy lacing. A good swirl to rustle up the aroma gives lots of fresh foam. The aroma is mainly wheat, obvious German hops and lemon...and that is all good but its the lingering armpit sweat that carries some unpleasant weight especially early in the beer. After it sits awhile it does disappear and then this brew is pretty decent on the smell side. A bit watery on the flavour front but its still nice and wheaty with slight malt notes and an equally slight spice in the hops. The hops are more obvious near the bottom of my glass. The mouthfeel is very weak, foamy and uninspiring early on but just like all the other characteristics of this beer improve with time in the glass. Too bad its still a bit too foamy. Comes across a bit sour / tart with a weak lingering of the bitterness located near the tonsils. BOOOOORING."

"I had higher expectations based on a friends recommendation and I was mildly disappointed. Nothing stands out with this beer, but it doesn't taste bad on a hot summer day."

[4] Review by mmmmBeer from Edmonton, Canada who has tried this beer once. (9/10/2007 10:15:52 PM)
"Body appears to be honey brown with a quarter inch rocky cap. Retention is average, complete with spotty lacing. Extremely mild aroma, slightly sour with metallic qualities. Mmm barf plus metal. Flavor is comprised of German tasting hops, slight wheat with metallic finish. For the record this is the girlfriend typing for guy who cannot speak English. The mouth feel is a touch too watery and slightly over-carbonated (belch). Overall the flavor is too mild and metallicy. Drinkable but boring.

[5] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer (1/15/2006 10:22:15 AM)
"Wasn't expecting much when I saw the lack of yeast. Very pale gold. Decent pure-white head dissipates, but not completely. The aroma is faint, wheat and something reminding me of apples. Flavor is a hint of German wheat esters, nice crisp wheat. Fairly thin cream mouthfeel. Nothing offensive about the beer, but nothing outstanding. Not bad for a filtered wheat (actually good for a filtered wheat) but not an outstanding beer. For Carlow, stick with the stout and red."
