Farmhouse pale ale with blackberries. Hints of spice with the addition of sweet local blackberries make this Belgian-style pale ale with something a little special. The blackberries were grown locally in Fife by our friends at Barnsmuir farm.

330ml bottle from an Edinburgh Aldi. Poured into a Gordon's thistle shaped glass at home on 26th Jan 2018. The beers colour is like crushed blackberry juice blended and watered down to a dirty, pale red, no head what so ever. Not enjoying the look to be honest, I haven't sniffed or tasted it yet! The aroma is light blackberry, the taste is like the look, a fruit juice. Oh dear, is the beer out of date? No 4 months left. This has been a big disappointment from start to finish, there is a slight saison 'farmhouse' feel to the brew, but it just doesn't do it for me at all.

Bottle from Aldi. It pours murky reddiah - brown with a tiny white head. The aroma is earthy, woody, black tea, jammy, bramble, warming spice, clove and cake. The taste is bitter - sweet, bramble, touch of tartness, dried fruits, fruit cake, spice, clove, black tea and wood with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit muddled overall and she ain’t a looker. Fair.

Bottle at Leighton’s, thanks to the host. The aroma is clear amber with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, bready, berry skin, candy, creaminess, parma violets, candy and a touch of sherry. The taste is crisp, bitter, sour berry skin, bramble, berry yoghurt, bread, candy and light alcohol. Medium body and foamy carbonation. Works pretty well. Decent.

Bottleshare at Lancaster Gate. Thanks to Leighton. Hazy gold beer, tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is over carbonated airy and semi dry. Fluffy malts, thin creamy sweetness. Mild spice. Floralness that edges toward soap. Touch of candy. Light dry finish. What bramble fruit?

Bottle shared in W2 - picked up at Royal Mile Whiskies. Pours lightly hazy orange-gold with a dense, creamy topping.strong yeast and phenolic nose, wheat, dough, light banana. Medium sweet flavor with notes of alcohol, earth, damp wheat, hay. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Lightly warming on the finish, with some bitter hay, grains, earth, wheat, faint caramel. Not bad.
