Barrel Aged Sour Red Ale. Named after spaghetti western royalty, This beer is a love letter to Belgian style kriek. Each bottle contains roughly 200 grams (a fist full) of fresh Marlborough cherries, making it beautifully sour and fruity “go ahead, load up and shoot”.

Pours a hazy ruby from a bottle, light cherry aroma and flavor, lightly tart, finishes weirdly thin and bland, acidity is only on the front. Good beer.

Bottle at Craft Islington, big thanks to Danny! It pours hazy orange - red with a small beige head. The aroma is tangy, sour, bright acidity, cherry, fruit pie, lactic, bakewrll tart and a touch of vomit. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, cherry, cherry cola, bright acidity, icing sugar, granny smith apple, sour candy, earth and sherbet with a dry, tangy finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. A bit acidic perhaps, but good fun anyhow.

Bottles shared in London - many thanks to Danny. Pours hazy reddish pink with a creamy, white head. Nice seedy aroma, some sweat, cherry. Light sweet flavour with some rich, acidic cherries, mellow funk, more seeds, lemon. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Quenching finish with more tart cherries, lemon, salty sweat. Great stuff overall.
