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.

Keg at Beer Merchants Tap - Hackney Wick. Pours mostly clear ruby-red with a small, creamy pink head. Lightly sweet, semi-sharp acidity, dry, cherry, plum, vanilla. Light to medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Tart, drying and quenching finish, more cherry, raspberry, plum, lemon. Quite enjoyable.
