440ml Can from Hargadon Bros., Sligo (€4.75):
Really nice stuff from Lough Gill, as it stands this one is probably one of the best beers from the island of Ireland that I've tried to date, there's only a couple that I've rated higher & this definitely was a nice beer. Opening with quite a sweet & malty taste that came through with plenty of toffee & caramel in the early going, it had some pleasant alcohol notes that turned warming towards the end but never looked like overpowering the beer. I enjoyed the touches of marzipan & darker fruits nearer the end & it's a beer I'd definitely have again if it was a permanent offering from the brewery; I can't wait to try the other in the series I picked up though.
