A truly seasonal ale. A robust base saison with big blackberry additions to create a big fruity farmhouse ale, enhanced with fresh UK Jester hops in cask to further enhance the dark fruit tones and fresh UK Godiva hops in keg, to bring out a subtle spiciness – both with a slight tartness to give it perfect balance.

Third, gravicask at GBBF Winter, 4.5 % abv. Shared with Finn. Unclear orange coloured body, dotted spots from a film-type layer. Moderate aromas of berry skins. Berry-fruit flavours, prolonged ending. Fair enough. (Birmingham 04.02.2020).
