33cl bottle. Pours cloudy and golden with a decent head and some suspended yeast. The nose is really tart with a creamy background. The taste is more yoghurty sourness. I suspect this beer is off, so a proper rating is hard to give, therefore I’m giving something around the mean.

A summer ale, but smells funky.  Dull blonde. Taste is bland, crackery, sweet and w too much funky yeast.

340ml Bottle (At Jolo’s) - Hazy golden in colour. Malt, fruit, grain and hops in the aroma. Malty, tangy and slightly tart taste with notes of lemon, lime and peach.
