We get straight to the point with our thirst-quenching Blackcurrant Session Sour. It’s juicy, full of flavour and lets the fruit speak for itself.
800 kilos of locally sourced Scottish Blackcurrants make the perfect match for our mixed fermentation house culture, creating strong aromas, sharp tartness and a distinctive dark purple colour.

Keg draught at Dough & Brew, Warwick. Purplish red, the colour of Ribena (unsurprisingly) with a pink head. Blackcurrant aroma, some sour cherry, vinous notes. Taste is full of blackcurrant, slightly tart, going toward a little bit of sweetness nearer the finish. Light body, low to medium carbonation. Decent if very predictable.

can at home picked up from VC online. A hazed deep purple berry red coloured pour with a rocky pink head. Aroma is pithy dehydranted berries, powdered berry drink, yogurt funk, tangy earthy blackberry. Flavour is composed of tangy pithy berries, blackcurrant, tangy, yogurty funk, prickly. citric acid. Palate is tangy and tangy, citric acid, high prickly carbonation. Harsh and not that drinkable.

Õrn õlle element on, aga üldiselt selline mahlaline. Joodavish vms, eelistan õllemaitset.

Keg @ The Boot, Wellington. Pours a hazed reddish purple, vibrant blackcurrant ribena aroma. Good fruity profile, nice blackcurrant definition, nicely balanced sour edge.. excellent as always

Can at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a murky maroon with a small pinkish head and good lacing. Aroma is mainly malts but with some hints of blackcurrant. In the mouth it’s briefly sweet before blackcurrant sharpness kicks in. But if you ignore the tartness, the underlying sweetness is still there. Its OK I suppose, but not my kind of beer at all – sorry Erika !
