Corked and caged 375 ml bottle from the brewery, via delivery, 12/31/20. From the Temps Perdu: Adventuresome set. Bottled 2/25/18. Thought this seemed like a fun one for one of my last (or perhaps actually my last - we shall see) tick of 2020. Clear rusty reddish colored beer, fizzy head that dissipates quickly. Funky raspberry / cherry, tart, a little earthy, and some wood. Finishes with a kiss of vanilla sweetness. Bright, clean, and effervescent. Enjoyable stuff.

Bottle split at L6, thanks to Leighton ... rake 26,000 ... 28/11/18. Reddish orange with a limited crimson covering. Nose is tangy raspberries, funk, damp wood, berry pips, hay bale. Taste comprises cherry skins, vanilla oak, wood must, funk dusting, lemon rind, berry pips, sweet and sour vibes. Medium bodied, lively carbonation, semi drying close with balanced acidity. Decent but lacks the wow of some of their other offerings.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. Hazy cherry colour beer, no head. Palate is light and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Mildly tart raspberry and cherry. A touch of vanilla keeps the tartness in check. Cherryade and lemon sherbet on the finish. Nice, not over sour.

Bottle shared in London - sourced from the brewery. Pours clear red with a fizzy white head. Nice tart raspberry aroma with hints of vanilla bean. Light sweet flavour with moderate acidity, some creamy vanilla accents, nips of seedy bitterness, woody dryness. Light bodied with spritzy carbonation. Quenching finish, more tart raspberry, lemon, hints of alcohol, background vanilla accents. Quite clean overall. Refreshing.
