Bottle. Beer Stop, Dronfield. Hazed, raspberry pink. Dense ring of pale pink foam. Nose has sweet red grape. Soft, milky funk. Hint of oak. Taste has a light sweetness. A little dry. Some tannin like bitterness. Light body. Full on foamy carbonation. Tart and lightly dry on the finish. It smells ok, but after that this is pretty thin and bland.

Bottle split at L6, thanks to Kenny, 27/06/19. Murky reddish orange with a well presented faded crimson cap. Nose is tangy berries, dusty wood, funk, red grape must. Taste comprises dusty berry skins, grass, vinous trace, farmyard, berry pips, grape skins, tangy fruits, oak. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced acidic rise. Decent.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to MadMitch. Pours lightly hazy pink with a small, foamy pink head. Damn tasty, nice berry tartness, supportive acidity. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Clean finish, lightly dry and woody, more pleasant tart berry character. Lovely.

Aroma is sour red grape, musty grape, cherry, oak ,bretty funk, yogurt. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, dirty oak, dry oak, vanilla, leather, tart red grape, little salt. Palate is tart, frothy carbonation, dry finish. Really nice, good complexity.

Bardzo fajna rownowaga owocowosci, kwasnosci, slodyczy, dosc intensywne, mi smaczy mocno
Ok grapey Merlot IPA
