Bottle split at Tilt, Bingo-Cotts Convention, Thanks to Fergus 08/07/23. Hazed orange with an off white cap that retains well. Nose is stewed fruits, hedgerow, herb, damp grass, vinous. Taste comprises green berry must, damp hay, funk, tannins, hedgerow, earthy fruit skins. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering edge. Decent enough sour but not as good as Crossovers usual efforts.

Keg at Riverside Beer Fest 22. No memtion of the year. Aroma is vinous with a sweet fruity edge. Opaque amber gold. Thin translucent white head. Medium-heavy sour. Vinous with underlying grains. Light bodied. Thin. Lifted by soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Enjoyable. Straightforward in a good way.
