On tap at De Garde. Pours a cloudy orange purple color with a medium white head. A big fruity nose, berries and pine. The flavor is sharp sour berries, sweet gin, oak, a thin body. Very nice. Unusual.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Clune. Pours vibrant purple with a foamy pink head. The nose holds light dried herbs, cherries, berries, soft funk. Light sweet flavor, highly acidic, with some peach, grapes, cherries. Light bodied with average carbonation. Cleansing finish but still massively acidic and sharf, lightly drying, with tart berries. A bit intense overall but still pretty refreshing.

Craft Clerkenwell. Bruce’s UK Swan Song. Hazy cherry red beer. Palate is airy and semi dry, crispy too. Light blackcurrant, not too strong. Little gin barrel twang and juniper. Trace of lemon and sherbet. Light dry finish. Nicely done, a bit dry but tasty.

Bottle thanks to Colin. It pours cloudy purple with a medium pink head. The nose is musty, barnyard, blackcurrant, light vinegar, touch of jam, light vanilla, wood and not much else. The taste is crisp, tart, blackcurrant, ribena, orange rind, sherbet, Granny Smith apple, mild acidity and jammy fruits with a dry finish. Light-medium body and spritzy carbonation. Rather refreshing and crushable.

Bottle shared by Corbit, thanks! Pours a hazy purple with a slightly pink head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has rich tart berries with a gin bite and a hint of earthiness. Flavor has a good amount of rich berries that are mainly tart but a bit of sweetness and a touch of gin.

Bottle thanks to Chow. Pours a cloudy purple with small frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is juniper berry and currant. Medium mouthfeel with nice currant and oak with tart berry, easy to drink, very impressive.
