Keg @ Maltings, York. Brighter orange-amber with a small carbonation. Surprisingly fruity in both aroma and taste, although it is strong tasting so there’s no big sips of this at any time.

Bottle from Fresh Fields Market, Croydonia. It pours hazy golden with a decent white head. The nose is earthy, funky, dirt, light citrus, white bread, straw and barnyard. The taste is bitter, tart citrus, grapefruit, wine grape skin, lemon sherbet, Granny Smith apple skin, minerals, funky brett and light acidity towards the finish. Finish is crisp and dry. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Crisp, funky, bright and juicy. I really like the balance to this. Very nicely done.

Slightly murky brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and mildly dry. Modest fine carbonation. Thin but very tangy malts - moves in to the outer edges of sour, slightly Flemish Red/Brown. Some ripe fruits. Light semi dry finish. Not sure it’s meant to be this sour is it?
