Keg at the brewpub. Aroma is a mixture of yeast, dough and light citrus with a sickly sweet almost lactose element. Medium gold. Thin creamy translucent white head offers sparse coverage. Initial citrus sour twang followed by malt sweetness. Sweet and sour but not overly pleasant. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. It a fan of a Märzen and that goes for this. Sickly.

Keg at Croxtons, Southsea. Funky citrus and stone fruit tartness. Hazy dark waxy orange. Thick foamy white head. Medium-heavy sour with a parallel fruity sweetness. Vinous edge. Medium-heavy bodies. Creamy. Pithy. Low key carbonation. Dry astringent finish. Fruity. Sour. Yep. But now that I am adding it - marshmallow?

Thanks to HP for sharing. Smooth mild caramelly beginning. Very dry, deep with hints of cocoa and vanilla. Dry malty roasted finish, moderate bitterness, fruity in the finish. Ver nice deep.

Keg @ Tap and Can. Misty gold, small white head. Fruity red berry nose, sour. Comes across sour and sherbetty on the palate, some assorted sherbet fruits though nothing too distinct. Wasn't sure if it's aiming to replicate anything in particular, in a novelty craft beer way.. certainly a little odd and different.

Third of a pint, keg, on a flight in Tap & Can, Shrewsbury on 22nd Aug 2020. Murky amber pour, weak white head. Strange mix of fruits with a sourness I didn't really take too. Glad it only a third!

Can ordered from Beer Musketeer, Southsea. Black coffee aroma with a hint of charcoal. Opaque dark brown. Head pretty much disappears entirely. Medium bitter - matches the aroma. Develops a sour berry edge and there's some burnt caramel and dark chocolate sweetness in there too. Medium bodied. Slick if thin mouthfeel. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. A rich porter.
