A collaborative blend of wild ales with Little Pomona and Burum Collective.
A blend of tawny port and rioja barrel aged golden wild ale on foraged plums that had undergone carbonic maceration, a technique borrowed from winemakers, to bring out richer fruit flavours.

Monday, 1st April 2024; Monthly gathering in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Five guys with beers to share and stories to tell. 75cl bottle, hazy purple body, wispy off-white head. Sour plums with a vinegar red wine leaning, tart and a proper 'sour puss'. The other four guys love this sort of thing, I'm not so impressed.

75cl bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, April 24. Deep purple appearance. Tart, acidic, bristling wild air.. particularly plummy.. tangy down the throat. Definitely a big pokey number this.
