Cask at the Pup and Duckling, Solihull. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light fruity hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a light watery, yeast, light fruit, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. Light and refreshing but a little too light for me.

At In de Wildeman. Hazy dark pink with short lasting light pink head. Lots of earthy beetroot and dank old leaves. Not much else actually, some hint of lemon and weird herbs, more earth. Just medium sour and earthy bitter. Light bodied. Way too much earthy beetroot.

330ml bottle: out of date by 6 months. Shared between five on 20th June 2017 in Chez Sophie during a bottle exchange, cheers Simon for this one. Hazy orange with a thin white covering. Citrusy, sour and acidic. Not my thing.

330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie. Thanks to Simon. Pours hazy light orange, thin white head. Breezy berry aroma. Quite light on the palate with some distant sour acidity to accompany the soft berry presence. Tangy.
