About This Beer
Dead As Disco from Third Barrel Brewing is a clean, crisp West Coast IPA brewed in Dublin. At 5.9% ABV it delivers a classic west-coast profile with bold hop aroma, bright bitterness, and a refreshing finish. Third Barrel have made a name for themselves within craft beer Ireland thanks to hop-forward IPAs, bold experimentation and consistent quality — and Dead As Disco is a great example of their approach: modern, punchy and crowd-pleasing without compromising on balance.
Hopped generously with Citra and Cryo Pop (among others) the beer pumps out aromas of citrus, tropical fruit and fresh pine, layered over a base of pale malt that keeps things light and drinkable. The result is a beer that captures the spirit of West Coast tradition while remaining distinctly modern — ideal whether you're trying it neat, over ice, or alongside food.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale golden-amber with a slight haze, topped by a frothy off-white head that lingers and leaves fine lacing.
Aroma: Bright grapefruit, zesty orange, tropical mango and pineapple, with light resinous pine and subtle floral undertones.
Flavour: Initial citrus burst gives way to tropical fruit sweetness, soft pine bitterness, light biscuit malt character and a clean, dry finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, crisp carbonation, clean bitterness and a refreshing, easy-drinking finish.
