3/5/2025. Bottle from Beer Without Borders. Pours clear bright bronze brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is toffee, malty, biscuit, fruity, leafy, berries, raisins. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, foamy carbonation. Nice but too carbonated.

Chrimbo pressie from the wife. Clear, or should that be opaque, chestnut. Foamy off-white head is somewhat translucent. Aroma combines berries with caramel. Gluey. Flavourwise we have a sharp berry tang that cuts through but doesn't overshadow caramel and some grainy notes. Latterly develops some spice. Light. Thin to slick. Soft carbonation with some lazy fizz. It's fine. Decent on a cold night but not particularly exciting.

500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo; new brewery, new region - thanks a lot, Graham!]. Opalescent, auburn colour with ruby shimmer and huge, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, dirty white head. Minimally toasty, nutty, malty and yeasty fruity, minimally floral, hoppy aroma, notes of red and blue berries, blueberry jam. Taste is minimally toasty, nutty malty, slightly yeasty fruity and minimally floral as well as leafy hoppy, diluted hints of red and blue berries, a touch of corresponding shrubs. Watery texture, smooth and soft palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Beautiful colour, nice fruity aspects - enjoyable.
