Tried at the Newark Beer Festival 2017. Deep brown with a thin tan head. Fruity and berry aroma. Light sweet to sour taste. Light body.

Cask at the Reading Beerfest. Brown-black in hue, with a negligible head. A touch of toasty choc at first then very obvious and lightly tart raspberry before smooth creamy vanilla kicks in. They’ve definitely got the neapolitan ice cream thing licked here. However the hint of roasted malt and the light raspberry sourness stop it being too sweet. Although it’s definitely a novelty beer, it’s tasty, well-balanced, unusual and very drinkable - I thoroughly enjoyed it. Oddly the friendly old CAMRA fellow who served me insisted that the main flavour I should be tasting was coconut - definitely raspberry and cream I thought.

Cask at Cambridge Winter Beer Festival, Friday 20th January 2017. Lots of sourness on the nose, lactose. Hazy, murky brown, nice some spiciness, its ok, it’s a tad gimmicky. A6 A2 T6 P3 Ov11 2.9

Gravity cask at Cambridge National Winter Ales Festival 2017. Mid- to dark brown, translucent with a very loose beige head. Sour chocolate milk aroma with mothballs and a hint of strawberry yoghurt. Taste starts as a sweet/sour interplay with spice, vanilla bean (well done, I got all of the Neapolitan flavours) and a slight eggy whiff. Thin flat body, although the the strawberry shortcake finish made up for that. Verdict: extremely well-made, so I’ll forgive it for being a bit too clever for its own good.
