Bottle at home in London - no idea where I got it, but it was procured years ago. Pours clear, dim red with a bubbly, white head. Restrained aroma with notes of cherry skins, dried berries, leather, a little wood. Light sweet flavour with zippy acidity, assertive dryness, tart cherries, salt, lemons. Light bodied with sturdy carbonation. Bone dry on the finish, with cleansing acidity, salty bite, lots of drying cherry skins, a little woody bitterness, more tart lemon. Super quenching overall. Excellent.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a dark pink with a round light pink head. The aroma is damson, yeast, fake sugar. The flavour is moderate to strong sour with a big dry, acid citrus sour, light vinegar palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle at home picked up at the brewery. Clear pinky red coloured pour with orange highlights. Relucant halo of loose pink head. Aroma is tart apple, sour cherry, some musty acid. Quite pleasent with a little plastic note. Flavour is composed of really dry musty cherry and stone fruit, crisp tart acid. Very clean and direct with nice woody tanin, pips. Palate is crisp and uber dry, tart ciitric acid and wood tanin. Very refreshing and crisp.

Bottle @ RBESG Aug 14 CBC Clapham. Pours clear red with white head. Light sour cherry aroma, taste lacks much in the way of damsons. Sour enough with very light berry but its fruitiness is disappointingly thin.
