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.

Bottle from Cork & Cask. Hazy amber body with a thin off-white head that gradually fades. Faint lacing. Aroma of cranberry, biscuit and fig. Flavour of tea, champagne, lemon and tonic water. Thin body with a spritzy texture. Very fizzy. Incredibly dry but there’s not much flavour.

Re-rate 030216. Appellation Wines. Nice acidity. Light fruit. None of the yoghurt notes of last time. Up 0.6 out of 5.
330ml bottle from Cork & Cask. Pours pale red-tinged gold with a thin white head. Aromas of yoghurt, faint spice. Taste is dry, fruity, but not particularly bramble-like. Malty too. Prickly carbonation, dry finish.

Bottle. Appearance - a lovely orange with an autumnal edge and a nice fluffy head. Nose - wild yeast, yoghurt, warm milk. Taste - not much in the way blackberries, more like red or orange fruit and a bit wild yeast again. Biscuits too. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a dry yeasty finish. Overall - not one of their best. Smells and tastes like a bitter with an unwelcome yeast in there.
