Can from Secretts of Milford. Pours more opaque than hazy. Gold. Foamy white head. Aroma had tart gooseberry and less tart citrus. Bitter edge. Herbs. Underlying dry malts. Seems a bit rough and ready. Flavourwise it's tangy and sour with a herbal edge. Bitterness becomes more prominent into the finish. Underlying porridge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent for a brewery that tends to just push out twiggy stuff masquerading as modern brews.

Keg at Horse & Groom, Chobham. Opaque amber. Thin foamy white head. Aroma is sweet - fruity and gluey. Develops a very bitter streak. Resinous and boozy. But not particularly well balanced. Light. Thin. Flat carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Wondered how Crafty would do at a style and ABV I've not had before.... and it's not a great attempt.
