Very slightly hazy amber beer. White suddy head. Sourish nose, fruity and with some vinegar. Crisp palate turning frothy. Sour but not overly so. There is a little blackcurrant here with well buried peach and mildly bitter orange in the finish. Weird bitter but not unpleasant.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. An unclear, golden-orange beer with some microfloaties and a finger-thick off-white head. Milkysour nose with a lemony touch. Some candy-like tropical fruits too. Medium body, effervescent and dry. The flavor is bretty and lemony, way better than the aroma but still not superb in any way. Some bitterness. Sure gone bad, but it was sort of tasteful anyway. Don’t feel an urge to repeat it though. 110319

500ml bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Unusual artwork on the bottle! Hazy straw colour with a thick billowing white head; yeasty aroma with tart fruit; more tartness in the mouth, it’s really quite sour, but also sweet and lactic, a bit like a boiled sweet. Not at all pleasant.

500ml Bottle - Dark golden/amber in colour with a lively and foamy head. Dry and slightly tart aroma with some fruity hints, a slightly soapy element and a faint strawberry hint. Fruity and slightly taste with some more hints of strawberry and a sweet and sour finish which is also lightly hoppy. A hint of strawberries and cream lingers in the finish too.
