Light, fruity, sour and tart. Stone fruit, some nice funk, really smooth. Not bad at all.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Pigs Ear 2021. Mild gusher. Pours clear, cola brown with a frothy tan head that diminishes quickly. Lightly sweet with simple brown bread, nips of cocoa, toasted toffee, mild earthy notes, some raisins and caramel. Light bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Easygoing finish, more sweet toasted brown sugars, bready malts, burnt caramel, impressions of cocoa and dark fruits. Nice and drinkable.

Big bottle thanks to cgarvieuk. Appearance - deep amber to red. Thin beige head. Nose - smells like a corked wine. Taste - again, corked wine. Funky and toffee. Palate - light to medium bodied, funky harsh edge. Overall - this seems like a beer that has reacted badly with the wood.

Can from Cornelius. Hazy golden body with a thick white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, dried apricot and gooseberry. Flavour of minerals, coriander and grass. Thin to medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Light fizz. Crisp and clean.
