Draught Small pinkish head over hazy amberish red beer. Sour berries, lactic acid, wood; very fruity nose. Sour fruit returning in the mouth, unripe berries, lemon, lactic acid. Serious acidthinning, lipsmacking acidity. Another excellent UK fruitbeer. They don’t have to learn it any longer - they know.

Clear red beer, small creamy off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: funky, lactic acid, some vinegar, very fruity, red currants. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sourish start, pretty bitter, lots of tannins, lemon juice, funky. Aftertaste: little dirty, blueberries, some sour cherries, tannins. Meh.
