[33cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring.] A chestnut pour with a ring of white head; tart fruity aroma; big sweet fruity taste, but also very tart, and well balanced, with a smooth fruity malt body and some woody astringency - presumably the heather. An interesting and well made beer.

Bottle split at Chris & Ruth's pre GBBF Shin Dig, cheers for all the shares, 05/08/17. Orange amber with a decent off white cap. Nose is dried fruits, light citric peel, spice, grains. Taste comprises tangy fruit rinds, herbal bite, mellow spice, grains, stale bread, damp straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. A pretty basic sour and lacking depth for the ABV.

330ml bottle from HonestBrew. Pours an unclear deep reddish purple, no lasting head. Aroma has some lactic red berries. Crisp, bright and tart on the palate, good fruity presence with a fair sweetness and yes, can detect a welcome red wine barrel influence rounding things off. Super tangy, super tart.. more complex than expected.
