A blend of 1 & 2 year old golden ales brewed with malted barley, malted rye, malted oats and raw wheat.
Spontaneously fermented and aged in neutral French oak barrels. The beer was moved onto Damascene damsons (Styan Family Produce, Worcestershire) in tank. It remained there for 4 months with punch-downs performed during the initial stages of refermentation. The beer was then blended back with further components before bottling.

Bottle. Color: Lightly hazy pinkish red, pink jead. Aroma: Yart plum, wood, funky. Taste: Malty, tart plum, oak wood, tannins, leathery and lightly stable-like funk. Dry mouthfeel. Medium body, below average carbonation. Moderate tart, a little sweetness also. Ok.
