By cask at GBBF Winter, Astbury Bar. Shared with BeerViking and Finn. Misty orange-reddish body, dissipating off-white head, scattered lacing. Moderate smell of sourish stewed fruits, dry. Acidity flavours of plummy fruits on a backbone of Belgian yeast strain. Ends sweet, mid-tart and dry. Okay cleanser. (Birmingham 04.02.2020).

Gravity cask at the 2020 Leicester Beer Festival. Dark drown, slightly translucent with a ring of khaki head and a touch of natural carbonation. Sour smell mixes with the heady sweetness of the malt: I get the foraged herbs, soured stone fruit along with strong aniseed and medicinal characteristics. Taste turns gently sour mid-sip, leading to a fruity and herb-laden finish. A suggestion of liquorice in the aftertaste. Unusual and very well-crafted.
