On tap at Taphouse CPH, pours a clear bright pinkish red with a small white head. Aroma is dry, with lots of blackberry skins, gentle rustic saison yeast, and a touch of earthy notes. Flavour is dry and jammy, with plenty of blackberry jam, some acidity, and light rustic notes. Very fruity, fairly dry finish, with only moderate acidity.

Bottle direct from from Kernel. It pours clear red - purple with a small white head. The aroma is musty, super funk, damp oak, sweaty, barnyard, slightly poopy, nutty, jammy, tangy berry, plump bramble, blackcurrant skin, victoria sponge cake, trifle and a twist of citrus. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, puckering, nip of acidity, juicy berry, bramble, blackcurrant, damson jam, raspberry pip, granny smith apple, musty, funky, dry oak, barnyard and lactic twang with a drying funky finish. Average body and soft carbonation. Fun stuff. It's not the best iteration, but it's enjoyable nonetheless.
