Very vinous. Probably would like it more without the blackberries, as the grapes might've been enough. Would also be keen to try the malt-rich base beer which uses barley, wheat, rye, oats, and Emmer.

Bottle. Color: Clear reddish pink, pink head. Aroma: Fruity grape and blackberry. Taste: Blackberry, grape, grapeskin, subtle leathery funk and some oak wood. Some fruity cranberry and raspberry also. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Moderate to over moderate tart, light sweetness. Medium to just below medium body, just below average carbonation.

Tap at Arendsnest, 16th October 24. Looks like Batch 2, and labelled at 5.5%. Pours a pretty pinkish clear. Aroma is tart fruit and berries. Taste is funky, musty, tart, satisfying, sour, light sweet, good

Bottle. Slight hazy dark purple, looks like a dark red wine but with a small head. Lots of blackberries, blackcurrants and sweet grapes. Soft funk, not really much malts. Medium sweet and sour, light bitter. Medium bodied. Very tasty.
