(Tap sample @ Council, Apr ’17) Pours a hazy dark gold with a white head. Notes of lemons, tart pale pit fruit, soft lactic yoghurt, grainy malt, light vanilla, moderately oaky and tannic, hint of acetic acid, moderately sour with an off dry finish. Light body, soft carbonation. Lacks some heft in flavour but I don’t find it abrasively sour either. Decent stuff.

(Tap sample @ Council, Apr ’17) Pours deep brown with an off white head. Notes of strawberry preserve, tart red berries, slight plum, oaky, vanilla, slightly toasted grain and chocolate quality to the base, light caramel sweetness, semi-sour overall, finish is pretty dry, woody, lingering fruity tartness. Light to medium bodied, soft carb. Solid sour brown, nothing revolutionary but goes down pretty easy without too bracing a sour character.

Bottle from the dregs run. Pours hazy, milky yellow with no head. Aromas of green vegetables, bitter gourd maybe. Melon, maybe. Some passionfruit. Taste is tart, also meaty in a way. Weird.

Bottle from the dregs run. Just enough to rate by! Slightly over a kiss from the last person that drank it anyway... hazy yellow. No head. Yeast and pineapple aromas. Lactic sour taste, almost milky. Pineapple yoghurt.
