Large bottle. Poured a dark cola color with a small white head. Aroma was big lavender, a little soapy. Flavor was light sweet and light tart sour notes, elderberries.

750ml bottle. Label says it's a barrel aged golden ale. Golden? Nah. Bruin all the way. Dark fruits too. Acid. Solid malt backbone. 7 4 7 4 13

I taste some sort of berry for sure. No idea what elderberry tastes like. Well balanced. Some lavender. Some heather. Bottle.

(Draught at Muted Horn, Berlin, 29 July 2022) Dark red colour with frothy, pink head. Fruity, sourish nose with notes of blueberries, lemon, oak wood and vanilla. Fruity, tart taste with blueberries, oak wood, lemon, a touch of vinegar and a dry and tart finish. Hardly any bitterness. More than medium body, dry. Rich acidity and a good berry presence. Complex, still in good balance. Very nice.
