We make mixed-culture, barrel fermented beer in Manchester. Having both worked in some of Manchester's best breweries over the past five years, we thought it was about time we put something of our own together.

19th June 2023, Shrewsbury Monthly Beer Swap in Chez Sophie. Five guys enjoying life taking bollox. 750ml bottle; BB 31st July 2032. Raspberry red, no head to speak of. Raspberry front to the nose and tart flavour, it's semi-sour rather than a cheek sucking sour puss. Blackberry flavours creep in once you get passed the Raspberry lead.

750ml bottle thanks to my bro. It pours clear deep red / ruby with a lasting pink - white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, sweet - sour, tangy, massive tart raspberry, fruit compote, touch of cranberry, vinous and some tangfastics. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, puckering, juicy, sweet - sour, fizzy candy, tangfastics, bright raspberry character, vibrant, juicy, light cranberry, vague nip of acidity and light sherbet with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Fresh, fruity, vibrant and tart. Very drinkable stuff.
