Keg @ Dead Crafty, Liverpool. Pours a slightly unclear gold, thin array of bubbles atop. Prickly fruit, thorny bitterness, with a decent sour edge.. nice.

Keg at Cask Pub & Kitchen, Pimlico. A murky hazy plum colour. Thin foamy off-white head. Aroma has blackberries and raspberries providing both sourness and some sweetness. Vinous hints. Jammy. Sour. Quite tart but with a juice element (like the homemade juice my grandmother in Finland used to make from my Grandfather's berry crop). Gets vinous. Some bitterness. Lacks the sweetness present in the aroma. Thin. Slick. Soft-fizzy lazy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Spot on.
