Keg from The Hanging Bat. Dark brown body with a thin beige head. No lacing. Aroma of ashtray, earth and blackcurrant. Flavour of brambles, Vimto and cranberry. Thin body with a mouthfeel like lemonade. Very fizzy. Is there a beer style The Alpha Project haven’t attempted/nailed? Yet another tasty beer that, despite its sharp flavours, is surprisingly easy to drink.
