Bottle. Appearance - deep cherry red and fairly clear. Short lived off white head. Nose - more apple than grape, initially. Then some Schoer. Taste - sweet red grape and juicy apple. Palate - light bodied, sweet then some fruit tannins and grape acid. Overall - ok.

Clear deep red colour with thin head from the lasting carbonation. It really has the taste of fresh grapes. Slightly sweet. Nice.

Tap at Holm, CPH, DK. Quite sweet, with only light balancing sourness, very litte tartness. Big red berry character, rather light on the apple part. Feels like a radler. I expected more character and balance, even from Gaitero - or especially from them. I know they are macro, but I already drank them several times and all of them were better.

500ml bottle via Beers of Europe on Christmas Eve watching Mary Poppins. Pours a clear blood red. Aroma has red berry fruit, grape juice, light apple fruit. Taste is bright and sparkling, good red grape juice content, a little Schloer-like, clean and sweet. Distant underlying sour cider fruit. Yeah its not bad, perhaps a little sweet.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a vibrant red colour with a short-lived pink foam head. Aroma of apple and grape. Taste is juicy apple, very sweet, grapey, along with a rubbery barnyard note. Medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, dry lightly tannic finish. Quite OK.
