Keg at Brewdog Shepard?s bush. Hazed beautiful deep purple / pink coloured pour with a fine pink head. Aroma is fresh tart blackberry and raspberry with a slight musty funk. Flavour is big tart sharp fresh fruit, BlackBerry being the foremost fruit. Really good sour punch which is pretty clean. Some woody pips add to the depth. Palate is sharp, clean and semi dry finish. Really nice fruity sour.

The taste is crisp, tart, bramble, lemon sherbet, limeade, juicy fruits, blackcurrant, raspberry, great mouth-pucker and Ribena with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Great tart fruits. Really tart and juicy. Great.

330ml bottle. Clear, orangey golden colour with absurdely huge, frothy to macropore, diminishing (or better "osteoporosing"), minimally lacing, barely white head. Hoppy and surprisingly yeasty aroma, notes of gooseberry, a touch of herbs and brine, some grass and hay, a cautious floral yeasty touch, even hints of mushrooms. Taste is inharmonious, bready, woody, earthy hints of forest plants, mushrooms, a touch of caramel malt, some pine, herbal hoppy overtones; slightly chaotic but truely variegated.
