Founded in 2016 by James Ward, Lough Gill Brewing Company aims to restore the lost tradition of brewing to Sligo town, a small town that once hosted 5 breweries.

440ml can at home. Pours a deep ruddy amber, way over carbonated, had trouble fitting this into an 18oz pint glass in one go. Nose is pear and apple pie. Flavour is much more of an ESB, balanced ale with noble hop buttering and flavour, English style malts. Would be nice as an ESB, but as an IPA it falls very short of the mark.

Keg at the Euston Tap, East Lodge, 12/09/18. Pale golden blonde with a big old off white head of tightly knit bubbles. Nose is lemon rind, green berry must, sour dough bread, straw, light funk. Taste comprises white grape tang, straw, juniper berry, damp cloth, grains, grassy, lemon drizzle, nip of salt. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light sour climax. Decent.

Liked the first taste a lot, nice salinity, tart, but finished a bit dishwatery
