Bottle split at Chris & Ruths pre GBBF Shin Dig, cheers for all the shares, 05/08/17. Lightly hazed golden blonde with a decent off white head. Nose is pissy citric rinds, damp straw, funk, green berry tang, decaying apple core, light spice, damp alleyway. Taste comprises green berry jizz stain, wood must, funk, barnyard, lemon rind, apple core, grape must. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light acidic ripple. Solid well balanced and quaffable sour ... great depth of flavour for the ABV.

On tap at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 15/8/2017. Deep and hazy golden in colour with a thin, white, head. Tart citrus, ripe rhubarb and white bread aroma, followed by flavours of yeasty tangerine and apricot fruits, with a deep barnyard character. Finish was mouth puckering sour, yet refreshing, and lingered on for a long while. Excellent drinking.

The great pre GBBF bottleshare at ChrisO’s. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has decent carbonation. Light malts. Modest lemony sourness into distinctive cider vibes. Trace of pear. Light cider finish. Intriguing crossover beer.
