(Draught at Mother Kelly's Vauxhall, London, 24 Nov 2024) Reddish amber colour with brief, off-white head. Fruity nose with blackberries, citrus, a touch of funk and wild berries. Fruity, tart taste with notes of blackberries, plums, citrus, barnyard and oak wood. Low bitterness. Medium body, dry. Fresh and tart, with a good blackberry character. Very nice.

Tap at the Prague Beer Fest 2023. Hazy reddish body with some golden-like hints, off-white head. Dry tart aroma, berries, light honey. Lean, dry, bramble-driven taste, clean wildness, nice, if simple. Tasty stuff!
