Latest news November 2020:
The situation is complex, but it seems that there were two separate companies, one for brewing and one for the bar business. Both hit financial trouble, and the brewing company went into administration. Truman's, needing a new site due to delays with their new brewery, are currently brewing in Crate's old brewing space. But the website is still online and Crate beers are still available...

Tap at Pivoteka. Hazy golden body, off white head. Fine citric-tropical aroma... Smooth, flat taste, some fruity hops,tropical, bit earthy, ends herbal-bitterish. Strange rubbery touch. Dull bitterish finish.

Keg @ Cat & Mutton, Hackney. Hazed amber, no head. Its lemon is light but provides a fair sweetness to count its malty-sourness.

Tap at Zmajevo. Quite distinct lactic aroma, a bit more on the "sour" than "tart" side than these usually are, some Citra's there as well. As expected, that is followed by a taste where lactic acid is dominant, with some fruity Citra notes and some earthiness. Very much a solid sour - even if, in my opinion, it was outshone by other sour beers of this class on the festival, which might have influenced my rating.
