Bottle from the Virtual Salford Independent Beer Festival box. Aroma is vinous and fruity. Underlying almost honey sweet hints. Opaque light brown. A load of floaters. Creamy light beige head soon shrinks away. Initial sour edged sweet fruitiness is replaced by a medium bitter streak, which I guess is reminiscent of tea. As I drink more it really picks up a highly sour vein which will be the impact of the damson. Light bodied. Thin. Flat carbonation. Long very dry astringent finish. I like this. A light sour red. I guess it's more like a standard sour or a watered down one but fruity and bitter, perhaps the impact of the Kombacha. I messaged the two hip young people I know and neither of them have ever had Kombucha. My homework from this beer: try some of that stuff. Enjoyable if different. Slips down.
