Named for a broad genus of berries and brambles, remarked for their role as secondary successional species, to mark the first of our Symbiosis beers under our tasty new branding.
Rubus combines Australian Vic Secret and American Centennial. This beer fits snugly between a tropical monster and a citrus bomb. A mixed fruit bowl on the nose is followed by ripe tropical fruits and a short, crisp, citrus finish. Wheat a'plenty give us a smooth and full mouthfeel.
Available, accidentally, almost entirely at Victorious Festival 2018 in Portsmouth.
Other venues will include: Vibrant Forest Brewery Taproom, The Firkin Shed, The Selden Arms, The Steel Tank Ale House, and Common Rooms in Southampton for our glorious TTO!

150ml draught, beer flight at RØØR. Solid white head over a thick golden body, upper part lacing. Inviting juicy aromas, lemon to the fore. Quite rich citrus taste, lemon drops alongside herbal hops followed by citrus shells towards the ending. Well bodied. Smooth on the swallow. Likable. (Oslo 02.09.2020).

On tap at Uiltje Bar. Very sweet, fruity, passion fruit, bordering on artificial and lemonade-like, light bitterness. Not for me.

Draft. An unclear yellow beer with a lazing yellowish head: The aroma has notes of lemons, exotic fruits, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemons, grapefruit, lycee fruit, hops, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.
