On tap at The Barley Merchant, pours a clear amber orange with a small beige head. Aroma is fairly neutral, with soft bready malt, not much else. Flavour is dry, with some English bready malt and toasted notes. Clean enough but totally uninteresting.

Poured from the tap. Dark brown with small beige head. Bready malt and mild nuttiness. Fine.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a dark brown with an amber tinge and a small beige head. Nose brings out lots of bready malt and some subdued caramel. Flavour has a lot of British-style bready malt, lots of caramel, and a bit of nuttiness. Rounded and balanced. Solid for the style. Also, Antifa can go to hell.

Good muddy brown body and modest foam. Chewy sweet biscuit on the nose, slightly syrupy. Flavour is like a caramel mousse, really smooth and yet light with hints of biscuit and vague custard notes. Finish is mostly dry, okay carbonation. This one's enjoyable, rich and refreshing.

Very excellent dude foam and soft deep gold body, the aroma is bright sweet hops with lager notes maybe vague malts but who can be sure. Flavour is a very nice balance between sharp hop and deep biscuit malt; chewy, funky, deep and heavy though also very well balanced. It has nice oiliness and some sweet biscuity aftertaste. Quite good, a little simplistic but I can see how this would work exceptionally well for those relaxing on a patio chair, staring up at the sky, at the stars in the early August in Sorrento.

Growler purchase at the brewery, listed as Wild Gael Potato Ale these days. Pours with excellent foam and a deep reddish brown body, carbonation of small bubbles. Very faint malt and starch on the nose, though quite frankly not much of anything. Flavour is bright creamy molasses, biscuit notes, hazelnut. Mouthfeel is smooth but could be fuller for a beer like this. Still, it's quite nice.

Has a very nice deep purple body, mostly clear, pretty much no foam sadly. The aroma is funky berry, chewy sweet blueberry and raspberry. Falvour is more good berry character, some vague malty grain notes if I'm correct; full mouthfeel, a little crispness, sugariness moderated by some grain character if I do believe. Tasted within 48 hours of this growler fill picked up from the arse end of Sorrento I'd say it's quite nice, not too flashy or amazing but does get the job done. Workmanlike. The goats on their farm should be proud.

Has a soft reddish colour. Smells like diacetyl though, slight tartness but yeah just overwhelming diacetyl.
