Bottle shared in High Wycombe - sourced from Rad Beer IIRC. Pours mostly clear orange-gold with a moderate, frothy topping. Moderately sweet, nice tangy character, rounded stewed berries, decent acidity, pale wood, a hint of vanilla, apricot. Full bodied, lightly oily, with fine carbonation. Mild warmth in the finish, white wine, more citric tang, apricot, pale bread, understated acidity, oak. Punchy, good depth.

Bottle, taster. @Artbeerfest 2019, Bottle-Share, Caminha (Portugal). 13/07/2019. Slightly hazy deep golden colour with a low white head. Poor retention. Aroma is oak barrels, tart, grapes and lemons. Taste is soft tart leading to a medium acidic tannins finish. Dry. No carbonation. Again, overpriced. Next one please!
