750mL bottle, pours a murky pink with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out pithy black currant, some barrels, and light oak. Flavour is quite pith, with a really nice bright black currant character, wild yeast, and oak. Lovely fruit character. Excellent.

During Black Christmas 2018. Hazy purple. Lots of black currant in aroma and taste. Nice one.

Bottle with wax over cap for their 1st anniversary. Pours a cloudy red colour with a pink creamy-frothy head, good stay and some creamy lacing. The aromas are a nice balance between the Brett earthiness, alcohol and wood notes, over the fruit. The taste shows sourness, but not as strong as expected. The blackcurrant again is nicely blended with the wood and milder hops. Quite well-brewed and goes down smoothly.

A deep dark purple ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with loads of blackcurrant, Brett, lactic acid, tropical fruit, very nice and complex. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light Brett, light lactic notes, nice tartness, light Epsom salts, very nice. On tap at brewery, 1st anniversary party.
