Can thanks to my bro. It pours murky deep reddish - purple why. A frothy pinky - white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, sickly sweet, tangy, dandelion & burdock, plum wine, prune, blackcurrant cordial, purple soothers, medicinal tonic wine, orangey citrus and a splash of Irn Bru. The taste is sweet - sour, tart, tangy, puckering, some acidity, juicy purple fruits, plum, prune, grape, fortified wine, bramble jam, port, buckie, light tannin, dandelion & burdock and fairly well hidden alcohol. Finish is tangy, puckering and fruity. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Good fun.
