Elgood’s Coolship Sour Ale is brewed using traditional methods & original brewing equipment. Spontaneous fermentation is initiated on our unique double coolships. This unique English style sour beer, brewed in the artisanal manner at North Brink Brewery has been blended with Raspberry and a hint of Blackberry. The beer has a purple colour and a sparkling finish. The sweetness and rich berry flavour is off-set by the smooth sourness of the Coolship Ale, the hedgerow fruit aroma is prominent and with soft fruity tones.

Pigs Ear Day 1. Cask. Very light haze on this cherry red beer, no head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Tangy cherry - raspberry. Mild tartness. Mild acid. A little sherbet seltzer. Mild savoury note before a light finish. So much nicer than a lot of overrated Belgian twaddle.

Gravity dispense at Pigs Ear ’15, 01/12/15. Clear amber with reddish hues topped with a decent light beige cap. Nose is laced with juicy red berry, raspberry jam, straw, cherry drops, tarte fruit. Taste comprises bitter berry tones, sharper than the nose suggests, light acidity, damp straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with dirty berry must, climaxing with a light puckering sombrero, cherry skins shine through. Decent.

[9/26/15] Bottle shared at Borefts Beer Festival 2015 in Bodegraven. Amber. Nice aroma of berries, a bit candy-ish. Sweet and mildly tart flavor with berries. Medium-bodied. Pleasant.

Bottle from The Bierkonig. Pours clear copper with a slight white head. Red berry aroma - seems raspberry. Near med body. Flavor is fruits de bois with emphasis on raspberry. It is fairly tart - sour berry. Much better than expected.
