Bladder bag at the Royston, Broadstairs, 05/02/22. Pale golden with moderate white spotting. Nose is pear drop, apple orchard, light sugars, little in the way of a clue to the chilli. Taste comprises stewed pears, subtle chilli, tannins, wood. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close. Not bad actually ... the chilli, whilst notable, is kept to a minimum.

30/7/2021. From BIAB at the Redoubt Beer Festival, Harwich. Pours clear very pale yellow gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of stewed pears, citrus, mild chilli. Moderate sweetness, light tartness, and a big dominant chilli burn. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Bit of a surprise one, but enjoyed it.

Sample thanks to Graham. Hazed purple appearance, as befitting the name. Aroma is dark Berry bubblegum, blackcurrant, vimto. Taste continues along these lines, light bodied, still, pleasantly fruity with a nice simple sweetness, no rough edges or tannins with the dark berries singing the tune.
