After the success of last year's Mr Sipling, one of 2020's best selling beers for us, we couldn't resist finishing the year by doubling down with a Big Ol' Battenberg! Kettle soured with some lacto bascillus culture, loaded up with lactose, apricot puree, almond extract and vanilla, not much else to say about this one other than its a big thick sweet treat that'll be exceedingly good to drink this Christmas.

Can. Thanks to me. Hazy gold beer, big fluffy cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, mildly sweet. A mildly tart cakey vibe, kinda vanilla and bright berry fruits with a modest lemony tartness on the finish. Amusing, could be bolder in the cake department.

22/1/2022. Draught at Blind Tiger, Peterborough. Pours cloudy orange with a frothy white head. Aroma of tangy apricot, malt, citrus, lactose and after a while a little battenberg. Medium sweetness, light bitterness, slight sour. Medium body, average to soft carbonation. Nice bittersweet and tart mix to finish. Enjoyable.
