Clear golden amber colour with a thick and creamy offwhite head. Good head retention. No lacing.

Richly tart. Almost sour. Toasty. Vinous. White grapes and currants. Lovely and balanced.

Tart. This has got a lemony tartness that carries a vinous fruitiness. Indistinct fruit. Funk. Delightfully balanced.

Medium body with moderately high carbonation. Solid.

A exceptional beer from a master of sour beers. Well crafted and delicious.

On tap at the brewpub 17/08/13.

Pours a reddish colour, with a steady trickle of bead. Head is white, small bubbles, decent retention. Looks alright.

Smells tart, funky. Nice redcurrant crispness. Bit of barnyard at the back but beautifully sweet and tart balance. Yum.

taste is tart and funky. Redcurrant in there with pink lady apples, orange peel, some ascerbic funk on the back. Straw notes, grass and slight citric twang on the back. Beautifully handled sour, the sweet balances it out to make it smooth as silk in the drinking. Lovely.

Bit of sizzle both from carbonation and wild yeasts. OK for the style but I don't love it.

Lovely drinkable sour. Funky sweet and tart in equal measure; very approachable and sessionable.
