Scopey 10K Celebrations in deepest Croydonia. Thanks to Paul. Very hazy gold - amber beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is light, crispy and semi dry. Very lemony tart start with a little orange providing some contrast. Initially it’s a bit too sharp but as the palate adjusts it’s refreshing. Light finish. Decent but any raspberry was lost in the lemon tartness.

Bottle shared at my 10K tasting. It pours very slightly hazy rose with a decent white head. The nose is fresh, sweet-sour, juicy, clean, light funk, vanilla, wood and raspberry pip. The taste is big tartness upfront, clean, crisp, tart raspberry, some acidity, raspberry pip, lemon sherbet and granny smith apple with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Good mouth-pucker. Very drinkable stuff. Pretty delicious.

Bottle shared in London during Scopey’s 10k - many thanks to Scopey. Pours mostly clear gold with a frothy white head. A little raspberry and strawberry in the nose, mellow funk, lemon. Light sweet flavor with fleshy raspberry, pulpy strawberry, citric lemon bite. Light bodied with average, spritzy carbonation. Sharp acidic bite in the finish, up-front lemon, then undertones of raspberry, salt, straw. Cleansing, quenching, highly acidic.

Bottle split at Scopey 10K, massive thanks to Paulo, 26/11/15. Golden orange with a decent light beige covering that dissipates to edgeing. Nose is bitter raspberry, light smoke, berry tinged straw, funky, citric peel, trace of wood must. Taste comprises tarte raspberry, light pissoi, dry rot, barnyard, funk tangy berry sherbets. Medium bodied, fine to spritzy carbonation, drying close peppered with tarte raspberry leading to a puckering climax. Xolid.

375 ml bottle from cpferris. Nose is light raspberries with tons of tartness and a little horseblanket funk and oaky wood notes. Hazy yellow gold with a hint of reddish tones and a small pale yellow head. Flavor is heavy tartness, nice light raspberry notes (much lighter than the 2011) and lots of funkiness and pepperiness.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of jleblanc. Pours a pale pink with a slight haze and a slightly pinkish head. Very tart raspberry aroma with quite some barnyard. Light body, very dry and tart raspberry notes, Bretty and barnyardish, mouthdryingly tart and astringent yet very fresh all the way through. 270411
