Bottle shared at CBJ - cheers to Dan. Pours unclear matte copper-ruby with a slight, creamy topping. Light sweet flavour with notes of vinegar, subtle tart berries, mellow acidity. Light bodied with delicate carbonation. Finishes with more mellow tangy berries, soft acidity, acetic twang. Pretty relaxed, drinkable gear.

Bottle thanks to Dan. Just a very light haze on this pinky amber beer, no real head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Nice cherry, tart but not overly so, touch of almond. A light creamy sweetness underneath. Some acetic bite on the back end before a semi dry finish. Like the cherry, the aceticness reduces drinkability.

Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk. Appearance - reddish brown and quite flat. Nose - wood and light red fruits. Some prunes. Taste - wood cherries and again some dried fruit. Palate - incredible linger, like a fine wine. Medium bodied, tight texture. Overall - great beer.
