375mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Nose is intense, with notes of oak, paint thinner and booze. Flavour is funky, with stone fruits, oak, and super dry tartness on the finish. Unique and really interesting. Complex, but rather acetic on the finish. Really great.

9th Nov 2015: bottle shared between three as we did ’The Rainbow Project 2015’. Poured a golden amber, slight haze to it, small head. Aroma of lavender, and sour fruits on a wet plank of oak. Taste wise I wanted to find Parma Violets and I think I forced myself to pick that up within the flavours, but it is a sourness that dominated the taste to be honest and sweetness is overpowered somewhat.

Taste is sour tangy, grain, white wine, fruity zesty citrus, white currant, berries, with drying tannins. Sharp mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft to medium spritzy carbonation, very dry very sour finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle consumed at home. It pours clear bright orange with a small white head. The nose is fresh, sweet, juicy, fragrant, parma violets, sweet florals, sherbet, sour candy and grape juice. The taste is crisp, tart, good mouth-pucker, raspberry, sour blackberry, grape skin, violets, decent acidity, floral notes, granny smith apple skin and lemony sherbet with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. If anything there is a bit too much acidity. Its is pretty delicious nonetheless. Juicy, tart and fruity.

Bottle from Beer Gonzo webshop, Earlsdon, Coventry consumed at Isobels, Eardisley, Herefordshire, Friday 30th October 2015. Hazy lemony cheesecake colour in fact I mention that because it does look a little like a liquid lemon meringue or lemon cheesecake. Light sharpness with a touch of lemon sherbert on the nose, but in the mouth the raspberry shows with a soft sherberty yeasty funkmeister. Pretty good. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6
