On tap at Halo, pours a deep dark pink with a small pink head. Aroma brings out intense lacto upfront, with lots of jammy currant and subdued citrus hops. Flavour is extremely jammy, with lots of tart currant, lacto, and gentle hops buried. Total fruit bomb with lots of tartness. Fun stuff.

A dark purple ale with a thin lacing pink head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light black Currant, light buttery notes, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity mix of dark fruits, light lactic notes, light acidity, pleasant. On tap at brewery.
