Supplier: Kris Wines
This beer is made using a Saison base and fermented with Wild Beer Co's trademark wild yeast, I've seen it listed both as a sour ale and a saison but I think it airs more towards the saison style. This beer is made more complex by the addition of Gooseberries. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A pale straw colour that is slightly opaque. There is a thin white head the dissipates quickly.
Aroma: Some very hoppy notes more towards the grassy side with some citrus in.
Flavour: There are much less hop notes in the flavour with followed by some fruitiness and a little tartness.
Body: Quite thin like with should be but then leaves your mouth feeling a bit rubbery
Aftertaste: The malt notes seem to come into play here but they aren't great and taste like weak cereal, there is also a very weak but definitely present note of burnt plastic.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, I had high hopes for this one but it turns out it is just a plain beer the is reasonably nice.
Price Range: £2.99 for a 330ml can, too much for what it is especially as you can get other, more flavourful beers from this brewery at the same price.
Food Pairings: Something with a delicate flavour such as white fish with minimal additional flavours.
