Description
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.

Keg at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden. Opaque Ribena red. Thin foamy white head primarily sticks to the rim. Aroma is fruity - red grapes. Ever so slightly sour edge. All rather smooth. Flavourwise it's got a sour bitter streak over red wine fruit and a touch of earthiness. Light-medium medium bodied. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. I used the word smooth earlier and I will use it again. Slips down. The styles don't clash; the blending works.
