13h May 2020 Almost clear deep gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, back end has decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth malts, a mild creamy sweetness with a nice touch of barrel induced vanilla and something akin to fruity bourbon. A little gueuzey funky fruit before a crisp finish. Nice and easy drinking ba sour.

Keg, third, shared with Finn at Barrel Project. Cloudy golden body, remaining white head, clingy lacing. Berry skins on the nose, hints of fruits. Berry fruity taste, woody. End with a tart-sweet touch. Fine depth. Approved. (Bermondsey, London 19.10.2019).
