Bottle pour at Banana Jam CafΓ©. Pours clear ruby with a white head. Tons of musty red wine grape skins, spicy, rustic wild yeast, crunchy dry grass on the nose. Flavour is earthy and acidic with lots of red wine grape skins, a good musty wood character. Excellent vinous wild ale.

Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk.
Appearance - brown with a beige to tan head.
Nose - tangy red fruit, dried orange, brown bread and light toffee.
Taste - red fruit through the middle of the palate, dry brown bread and toffee.
Palate - medium bodied, accidentally sour?
Overall - in two minds about this.
