Strong farmhouse ale aged on wooden barrels, a creation by this acclaimed English craft brewery; thanks Meeki for sharing. Off-white, creamy, medium thick, opening and irregularly lacing head, hazy peach blonde robe with pale orangey tinge. Complex, fruity aroma of ripe white grapes, peach, lots of vanilla-scenting wet oak wood, ripe mandarin, rosé wine, cider, plum jam, candied orange peel, honey, strawberry, pineapple sherbet. Very fruity onset, a perfect blend of sweet and sour with estery impressions of whitecurrant, white grape and pineapple, medium carbonated with supple but sufficiently full body, even a tad vinous; white-bready and lightly biscuity malt structure, elegantly carrying all that fruitiness and soft, vinous tartness onwards to a satisfying finish of strawberry wine, wet oak wood (though relatively soft in tannins), acacia honey and cider impressions. Like a dessert wine of sorts, in beery form: utterly refined, rich and perfumey with lots of vibrant fruitiness – this is among the very best Siren beers I had to date.

Bottle ordered from A Hoppy Place, Windsor. Peppy aroma - fruit, spice, sherbert. Clear amber gold. Foamy if blotchy translucent white head. Medium sour with underlying sweetness. Fruity and vinous. Can't argue with the description - sweet fizzy sherbert comes through. Smooths out into the finish albeit the sourness follows through. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Dry astringent finish. What's not to like. Fruity yet dry. Sherbert. Oak.
