Brewdog Sheps Bush. Keg. Hazy reddish purple beer. No head. Palate is light, minerally crisp and dry. Sour! Sour blackberry and blackcurrant jam. Little lemon acid. Minerally crisp finish. Tart and fruity, about as sour as I can still enjoy.

Tap at Brewdog Birmingham. Poured a clear dark red colour with a thin light pink head. The aroma is yeast, raspberry citrus. The flavour is light sour with a yeast, ripe raspberry acid palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Not bad but some of the higher ratings surprise me.

Keg at Brewdog Shepard?s bush. Hazed beautiful deep purple / pink coloured pour with a fine pink head. Aroma is fresh tart blackberry and raspberry with a slight musty funk. Flavour is big tart sharp fresh fruit, BlackBerry being the foremost fruit. Really good sour punch which is pretty clean. Some woody pips add to the depth. Palate is sharp, clean and semi dry finish. Really nice fruity sour.
