Brewed in collaboration with our friends at 100% Cold Chain, Série Tontap #4 brings together our Edinburgh brewery and some of France’s finest indie bars and bottle shops including Delirium Caen, Le Chopp’In, Les Herbiers, Starling Burgers, Strasbourg, A La Bière Comme A La Bière, Paris & Le Drunken Bar, Montreuil.
After touring the brewery and graduating from our sour school, our French partners helped co-create this decadent, dessert-inspired sour. Expect poached pears, smooth chocolate, creamy vanilla, and delicate flavours of roasted almonds—a combination inspired by a classic French treat.

Уже достали ваулт с такими саурами, ничего нового и пошёл уже полный дисбаланс во вкусовых ароматах.

On tap at Low Key Taproom Ashford Turbid mango juice colour. No head. Aroma of pear. Tastes of poached pear. Touch of vanilla. Not getting much chocolate or roasted almonds. But as a poached pear beer. It's excellent.

Can. Also on Keg at Gidea Park taproom a few weeks ago. Moderately hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Abundant vanilla imparts a distinctive custard vibe. Juicy bright pear, manages to be both ripe and tart. No pear drop esters, just good honest pear. The lightest touch of vanillaish milk chocolate is the touch of great design. Light tangy pear finish. Wow. Beers that feature pear are very few and far between. Good beers that feature pear are like rocking horse poo! This is rocking horse poo. Delightfully light and drinkable, fabulously pear. And with enough sweet and sour tension to make this a delight. I honestly cannot recall a better pear beer.

On tap at The Star & Garter, Bromley. Nose is dessert pear, white chocolate, kiwifruit, white grape. Taste is exceedingly similar. Odd mix of flavours but works very nicely.
