5.1/10 Appearance 2 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
Keg at Brewdog Reading. Clear bright red in colour - doesn't look natural. Offputtingly bright actually, looked like a Panda Pop despite the thin white head. The raspberry flavour tastes quite authentic though, and the light sourness and moderate dryness makes it quite drinkable. A little raspberry leaf in the aftertaste. The body is maybe a little too thin, even for something light and refreshing. OK overall, just like a lightly soured raspberry cordial really. Could maybe do with a twist of herbs to give a bit more depth and maintain my interest, but it's nice to see brewers experimenting with low abv beers in other styles.

6.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Keg at BD Abz. It pours clear pale red. Almost pink with a medium bubbly white head. The aroma is quite soft, clean, raspberry, cermola foam a touch of candy floss. The taste is crisp, dry, pretty clean, light, lactic, tart, raspberry, decent mouth pucker and a touch of straw/grass in the background with a dry finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Simple, easy-going sour, which offers a nice alternative to nanny state in the low abv category. It is not a patch on popsicle parade which is so much more flavourful and fruity. Decent enough anyhow.
