Frothy pink tinged head left a collar an opaque, deep rich plum coloured still body - looks like a smoothie! Earth, sour fruit, petrol, chutney & stewed fruit aroma. Medium bodied, thick & creamy to the fore followed by short sharp dry finish. Sweet & sour tastes with bitter rhubarb, sweet berries, under ripe plum, root vegetables & blueberry with a tangy, zesty finish. Very drinkable.

Keg at Brewdog Soho. An opaque thick deep plummy blue, purple coloured pour with a fading pink fizz. Aroma is odd sweet bbq, pulled pork, low blueberry muffin, tangy. Weird. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, semi sour, tangy blueberry, woodland fruit, tart plum, fruit smoothie. Palate is rounded, low tartness highish carbonation,. Good. Bit weird.
