Delt med Rune. Svart. Lavt tett skum med litt farge. Aroma av ingefær & vanilje. Smaken mintsjokolade. Kjempesøt.

Draught keg at Sommar Leicester. An ominous reddish brown, clear without any head. Light aroma dominated by sour cherry, maybe some dark chocolate notes. Taste is... wow. Intense sour, lots of cherry to the fore. Fades quickly to leave Montmorency cherry abounding on the tongue. Man, this will give you gout and cure it at the same time. Watery body, low carbonation. Almost getting some vinegar at the finish, remeniscent of a Flanders red. A mixed bag but overall pretty impressive.

Keg at Craft Inn, Worcester, 07/09/22. Reddish golden with a light crimson cap. Nose is mixed berry fruits, herb, blackcurrant, straw. Taste comprises hedgerow, berry pips, shades of Danelion & Burdock, herb, red very skin. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Fun enough sour if lacking some wow.

17/9/2022. Can shared by danlo, cheers Ed. Pours hazy pale gold with a small frothy white head. Aroma of stone fruits, orange, dank hops, pine, slight peppery edge. Moderate sweetness, quite heavy bitterness. Medium body, average to soft carbonation. Nice mellowed bitter finish. Good.
