That’ll be me 20K then @ ChrisO’s. Thanks to Colin. Hazy reddish amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, dry and mildly crisp. Light cherry, ripe. Musty Port Wine and red wine fruits. Light semi dry finish. Nicely done.

Bottle split at Kenny 20K, picked up at the rewery, 15/01/16. Reddish amber with a decent light crimson covering. Nose is cherry skins, light metallic nip, Brett ping, funk, cherry tinged straw, faint spice. Taste comprises musty cherry, light fecal effect, tarte red berry, funk, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light puckering in the close. Ok sour ... decent balance but a little tinny, not Uprights best offering.

Bottle shared at Kenny’s 20k tasting - London. Cheers to Colin for this one. Pours clear red with a creamy, white head. The nose holds aged, dried berries and mellow funk. Light sweet flavour, acidic and very dry, with notes of wood, grass and modest earth. Light bodied with average carbonation. Bone dry at the close, with further dried and leathery berries, moderate acidity. Pretty solid.

Bottle thanks to Cloin at Kenny’s 20K tasting. It pours hazed deep red with a small off-white head. The nose is fresh, fruity, tangy, sour cherry, Bakewell pudding and just a touch of metal. The taste is crisp, tart, rich ripe cherry, sour raspberry, tangy, sherbet, sour candy, vanilla, earth, red grape skin, juicy fruits and good mouth-pucker with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Juicy and tangy. Very nice stuff.

Bottle at Madmitch 20k tasting. Red russet lasting pink head. Cherry raspberry aroma. Very drinkable. May not be hugely complex and not too sour. Good fruit. I liked it.
