A blend of 18 month & 30 month old golden ales brewed with malted barley, raw wheat and raw organic spelt. Spontaneously fermented and aged in neutral French oak barrels. The beer was refermented on Timperley Early rhubarb from Worcestershire for 4 months. It was then blended back with further barrel components before packaging.

Bottle. Unclear golden color with white head. Aroma is rhubarb, barrel funk, some yoghurt, flowery. Taste is the same, nice rhubarb tartness. Oily mouthfeel, medium carbonation, which is quite present though. Solid!

Bottle split at L6, thanks to Fergus, 02/03/23. Almost clear golden orange with an off white covering that veers edgewards. Nose is tarte fruit esters, straw, grains, rhubarb stem, light barnyard tones. Taste comprises herb, rhubarb, hedgerow, funk, hay bale, vanilla oak, tarte berry notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light acidic ripple. Decent.

Keg @ The Boot. Misty pale yellow appearance, thin sheet of bubbles atop. Nice bright mixed ferm complexity with light rhubarb hints. Expected a bit more rhubarb to shine through, definitely lacks a vibrant fruity profile, but still enjoyable all the same.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Fergus. Pours mostly clear gold with a fluffy, white head. Lightly sweet flavour, moderate funk, some peppery notes, light lemony tang, grassy rhubarb. Light bodied with spritzy carbonation. Clean, quenching finish. Good stuff.
