Blackcurrant Wheat Beer. A seasonal brew bursting with aromas of summer fruits and natural tart flavours balancing beautifully with the sweet malt of the wheat beer. No longer available.

Cask halfpint at The Granite City (JDW), Aberdeen Airport. Red colour, off-white pinkish head. Fruity aroma, blackcurrants and other dark berries. Tart flavour of blackcurrants, lemon peel and bittering hops. I have possibly also a bottle or two of this one in my stash, but will most likely not buy again.

Cask at GBBF’16, day three, 11/08/16. Murky crimson with moderately appointed off white spotting. Nose is light berry fruit esters, straw, toasted grains. Taste comprises blackcurrant, grains, light bread, raspberry pips, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Par for style but perhaps expected a little more from these guys.
