Bramble Barrel is an American sour ale inspired by the Gin Bramble cocktail. This beer was brewed with a pound and a half per gallon of local blackberries and aged in NC made Cardinal Gin barrels, which contribute the essence of spearmint. Finished with fresh lemon zest, this sour is best served unshaken and unstirred. Cheers.

Bottle @Ulfborg Tasting. Clear dark red amber, airy offwhite head. Arima has dark berries, some sourish notes too. Dark berry flavour, sour with light funky notes. Seems a little rough, carbonation is lively and does not really help with the roughness.

Cotteridge tasting #3 on 20th May 2017. Cheers Dave (WingmanWillis) for this offering. By the time the bottle got to me it had been poured into a few glasses already and my glass held a hazy reddy/bronze liquid with no head. Hedgerow berries in the aroma, taste also had red berries and a light citrus leaning, no spearmint or gin flavours for me. Liked it though.

500ml bottle. Clear, deep ruby colour with average, frothy, mostly lasting, minimally lacing, pink-ish head. Fruity aroma, notes of dark berries, bramble, lemon overtones. Taste is dry, sour, fruity, notes of bramble, dark berries, some lemon, woody, tannic notes from the gin BA, bretty influences. Slightly unbalanced, the gin barrel is a disruptive factor for me.
