So the most recent offering from Galway Bay Brewery is here. I tried this about a week ago. Vignette opens bright, dry and hoppy, the head was nice but disappeared quite quickly.

For me I could pickup fantastic mango, peach and citrus aromas. Its got an almost Belgian yeast/mild saison characteristic about it that works so well with an on the money carbonation.


With such a summery beer this is ideal for sinking a few.

For arguments sake I would say this is a good comparison to GBB’s earlier release of Weights and Measures. That said, Vignette appears hoppier to me with a slightly lower ABV than Weights and Measures.


Vignette is not as thin as you might imagine for a 3.5% ISA, that’s impressive.

Over all this is great, exactly what you would call for on a summers day but possibly JUST a bit expensive for its ABV. Considering its locally brewed and served in a bar associated with the brewery it just seems stretching it at €6 a pint.

GBB – Vignette 3.5% ABV ISA €5.50 with beoir.org voucher/€6 per pint without.


€4 for half pint/glass.

It’s a draft only small batch release on tap at Galway Bay bars and maybe one or two other dedicated beer bars around the country.

(EDIT – I have been reliably informed (Thanks BeerNut) that Vignette has been released in bottles too so it should be easier to find countrywide in all the usual good stockists)
