9th July 2018; Shrewsbury Beer Exchange Group meeting in Chez Sophie. Pink hue to the amber body, light pink head. This had the aroma and taste of a mixed fruit punch bowl that had been allowed to turn sour rather than ripen, because someone had poured a cheap white wine into the bowl.

375ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, July 18. Pours hazed pinkish orangish. Taste is crisp, moderately sweet with soft integration of cherries and gentle barrel-aging influence. Gentle sour edge. Nice.

Thanks to Paul. Hazy and slightly dirty looking peach colour beer, a few peach colour bubbles. Palate is light, dry and finely crisp. Slightly sour berryish fruits. Vague woody vibe. Little bitterness. Trace or lemon. Light finish. Interesting. Quite well joined up.
