Cask at GBBF'19 Day 1, 06/08/19. Dark mahogany brown tan covering. Nose is tangy dried fruits, figs, raisins. Taste comprises stewed fruits, herb, spice, tangy fruit rinds, damp wood. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close. Not bad .. easy drinking and well balanced sour if a touch basic.

Bottled. A hazy red beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, lemons, caramel, fruits, and a bit of brettanomyces, leading to a tart finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.
