Fresh. Vibrant. Made to be enjoyed.
Lush is an Extra Pale Ale from Galway Bay Brewery that puts freshness and balance front and centre. Light in colour and easy on the palate, it’s a beer designed for uncomplicated enjoyment — bright hop aroma, gentle bitterness, and a clean, refreshing finish that invites another sip without hesitation.
This style strips things back to the essentials. A pale malt base keeps the body light and crisp, while modern hops add layers of citrus and soft fruit without overwhelming the beer. The result is an ale that feels lively and contemporary, yet grounded in drinkability. For craft beer drinkers in Ireland, Lush is a perfect everyday choice — flavourful enough to satisfy, light enough to enjoy anytime.
It’s the kind of beer that works across settings: casual evenings, shared tables, or relaxed afternoons. Unshowy but full of charm, Lush proves that simplicity, when done well, can be deeply rewarding.
Why we love it:
Lush delivers exactly what you want from an Extra Pale Ale — brightness, balance, and approachability. The hops bring freshness rather than intensity, and the finish stays clean and crisp. It’s a beer that doesn’t ask for attention, but earns it through consistency and ease.
