Magnum at the sharing. Assuming this is blend 1. Light yellow and still looking body. Nose is wine and citrus. Tatses of wine, and woody, and apricot and goose berry. Lively body. Nice refreshing

Cask at GBBF 25. Hazy dull orange. No head. Aroma is juicy but with a tart edge - citrus and resin. Flavourwise it's even more tart. Citrus ans gooseberry with a res8n edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Decent.

On tap at BeerTemple. Pours murky dull yellow with a white head. Rustic yeast and citrus notes on the nose. Flavour has citrus peels, rustic yeast, grainy malts, bandaids, oak; not rhubarb to speak of. Not particularly good.

On tap at Peders, pours a cloudy orange, no head. Aroma has plenty of musty grape skins, earthy funk, a hint of phenols, and a little mildew. Flavour is dry, with earthy grape must, moderate funk, and a touch of dry leather. Very dry, funky, and musty. Good stuff.
