750ml bottle, from the BXL pack. Pours light hazed golden with a large white head. Aroma: lacto, sour fruit, white grape, musty oak. Taste: sour lemon, oak, white grape, lacto, barnyard funk. Palate is bitter lemon, sour. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Not the finest iteration of Running Beer, decent all the same

BB 03/2029. dark yellow clear color, small white head. smells funky, earthy, some green apples, peppery, light cellar funk, nice smell. medium body, soft carbonation. tastes earthy, pepper, spices, some horse raddish, bit grassy, some green apples. finishes dry and medium sour with notes of horse radish, peppery and earthy notes. Nice one, tastes quite young still, bit heavy on the horse radish notes, also a bit simple, but tastes promising.

This is the exclusive to the BXL pack beer. Batch / Blend 5. Necking this at the local Kebab house. Light haze on a straw gold. Skim of white head. Nose has peeled dessert apple. Super clean, bretty oak. Some sweet lemon. Taste is dry, and a little tart. Some fruity sweetness. Sits clean and fresh on the palate. Fine, crisp carbonation. Tart and juicy on the finish. Great stuff. Feels a bit โyoungโ, but itโs predictably good.

Keg at the Kernel taproom - London. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Great beer, with sturdy acidity, tart citrus, light salty notes. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly drying in the finish, with nips of pale wood. Excellent.
