Keg at BeaverFest. Funky with floral elderflower. Opaque Pale Gold. Thin creamy white head. Heavy sour. More citrus then elderflower. Thin. Slick. Average carbonation.ong dry astringent finish. Decent wild. Could do with more elderflower perhaps.

Draught @ Beavertown Extravaganza 2018. Sourish, tart and heavy with sweet strawberries, earthy notes and berries. A total strawberry overdose.

Tap at Beaver Ex2018, London. Colour is very murky reddish with very small white head. Aromas and flavors: Strawberries, strawberry jam, red berries, sweetness and some distant hints of beer. Not for me.

Draught @ Beavertown Extravaganza 2018. Smooth, tart fruity and citrusy with some lemon, sourness, lactic notes and hints of funky yeastiness and juicy tropical notes. Interesting, quite juicy sour ale.

On tap at Beavertown Extravaganza 2018. Cloudy dirty pink orange colour. Lasting white head. Strawberry jam aroma. Then a lemon sour beer with more fresh strawberry . Certainly fun. Really good fruit.
