With a sweet, sharp twist on the classic raspberry ripple this is a rich, sessionable sour with notes of sweet raspberry and irresistible vanilla ice cream, brewed to perfection.

Ossett 'Rat' Tins At Home Beer#1 of 3. Slightly pinkish-orange in colour, with a haziness. There's plenty of fruity sourness in this one, with the sweet raspberry giving it an ice-cream topped edge to the flavour, although not really ice-cream flavoured as a brew. It's a little bit tarty with a somewhat sugary aroma, which is where I guess it's at its most 'ice cream'. Bought as a much discounted takeaway rather than drink-in option at 'The Tap' in the town of Ossett.

Can 44 cl. Pours a hazy, pale red with a lacing, roughish white head. Distinct, fresh raspberry aroma with a tart, lactic edge. Light body, lactic tartness and plenty of fresh raspberry accents. If made well a tart raspberry beer rarely misses. 140526

440ml can poured at Bingley Arms, Horbury - Pinkish body, slight off white head. Nose has strange resemblance to Refresher Squashies sweets, taste has a creamy raspberry yogurt start, with a creamier vanilla back taste.

On tap at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a murky pale pink with minimal white head and good lacing. A bit of a strange aroma of chewy pink sweets and hints of bubblegum. In the mouth it starts off sharp and tart but with a hint of underlying sweetness. However, it soon becomes properly sour with raspberries, lactose and hints of sugar and vanilla. Finish is berry fruits. It's Ok but not my sort of beer at all.
