Can. Light haze on this gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and mildly dry and has modest fine carbonation. Soft and sweet malts, light creamy sweetness. Soft pine into juicy orange and orange peel. Half hiding underneath are some mild tropical fruits. Finishes smooth with mild hop spice and citric peel bitterness. Very nice. It’s got a good balance and hangs together well, just a little more carbonation would be good.

Aroma is sour, funky lacto, caramac bar, spicy apple, sweet malts. Flavour is composed of puckering sour woody, tangy, granny Smith apple, grainy . Seriously sour. Rough round the edges. Palate is super sour, moderate carbonation, tangy, grainy. Meh.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Kenworth. Pours unclear ruby with a creamy, off-white head. The nose has lots of acetic bite, ripe berries, lemon. Light sweet flavour with notes of leather, lemon juice, light vinegar, berries, drying wood. Light to medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Acetic finish, somewhat burning, with more lemon, leather, wood. Novel.

Bottle thanks to the birthday boy. It pours hazy deep red - brown with a small beige head. The aroma is vinous, tangy, balsamic vinegar, red berry skin, funky, vanilla, toasted coconut and fruit pie. The taste is dry, tart, woody, vinous, some acidity, red berry, sherbet, Granny Smith apple, celery and wood with a drying, milky astringent finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. I like elements of, but it is a bit rough and ready.

Bottle split at Level 42, thanks to Kenny, 07/09/16. Lightly hazed amber with a reddish glint, topped with a decent beige head. Nose is tangy dark fruits, vinous, spice, varnish, light vinegar strokes. Taste comprises soured fruits, spice, fruit balsams, vinegar notes, acidic, oaky wood pissoi, stewed fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close, rising acidic bite and a puckering finale. Ok but lacks complexity.

The great ChrisO pre GBBF gathering. Bright clear paleish gold beer, thin pale cream colour head - short lived. Palate is light and dry, reasonable carbonation. Tangy sourish fruits. Sour lemon. Modest floralness. Dry finish. A lot more sour than I was expecting.
