440ml crowler direct from the brewery. Deep red/purple, brief pink head. Aroma of cherries and almonds/marzipan. Taste is fresh tart cherries at the fore and a more fruity blackcurrant note in the background. Underlying this is a nice smooth body. Finish is a combination of the tart and fruitiness with a little bitter kick. Fresh, fruity and refreshing with just enough beer elements to make this a erm... beer. At this time of year there was a temptation to warm it up like a mulled wine. I resisted this experiment.
