Brewed using a unique blend of heritage grain grown a few miles from our brewery in the South Downs. Fermented in steel then aged in an oak Chianti foudre for more than a year before being conditioned for eight months over 350kg fresh raspberries. Prior to bottle conditioning, we blended the beer with a barrel-aged saison that had spent two years maturing with British-grown yuzu. Spritzy and lightly tart with flavours reminiscent of almond, black cherry, lemon zest and pinot noir.

Bottle. Cellar dweller. From Beer Stop Dronfield probably. Gusher ffs. Eventually pours hazed deep reddy ginger. No head. Nose has sweet autumn raspberry. Lots of fruity red wine notes. Light citrus. Touch of earthy funk. Taste has light fruit sweetness. Gentle tartness. Drinks juicy and clean with fine brisk carbonation. Juicy fruit finish. Nice despite the bad behaviour at the start.

Bottle at Prague Beer Festival. Thin body, high carbonation, gushed a bit. Med-high sourness, but feels rather clean, mostly lactic, with only a bit of acetic. Med-light sourness. Moderate raspberry, but completely fermented, very natural feeling. Light yogurty funk. Very nice balance, easy drinking. Very good
