Nose

Fresh and fruity – clementines and marmalade oranges.

Palate

Orange and grapefruit hit the palate first with a sour dryness soon taking the edge off the initial sweetness. pritzy, fresh-tasting and interesting.

Finish

There's some lingering sourness but otherwise dry and increasingly bitter.

Comment

A Belgium-inspired ‘Cornish sour ale', brewed with mixed yeast cultures. Blonde an effervescent, with nods towards Orval, it makes a welcome change from the typical British golden ale. A great aperitif.

Nose

Immediately distinctive. Sour pineapple. Some sweety-like aroma from the days of penny sweets at the corner shop. Cola Cubes. Rhubarb and Custard. With a musty undercurrent, like an old fruit cellar.

Palate

Crikey that'll suck your cheeks in. So so sour.

Finish

A short blast of bitterness immediately cancels out the sourness and leaves you staring at the glass. This is made where?

Comment

A Cornish sour ale, eh? That'll be that Stuart Howe – making stuff up as he goes along. An unequivocally interesting beer.
