Modern berry ale with a sweet and softly tart tastescape. Chokeberry juice is fermented with a wort packed with extra light caramel malts at a ratio 1/7. That allows to degrade the berry`s natural astringency to a crispy dryness that ends in a juicy fruitiness with some light malt sweetness.

Bottle at home, red beer, pink head. Aroma is dusty, tart. Taste is the same, some berry flavour, sweet and some tartness, either this bottle was not good, or the beer is meh

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a cloudy pale red with a pinkish head. Red berry aroma. Light in body, tart berry accents, almost astringent. There’s a light sweetness battling the sour berries, but the latter clearly win. 070617

Sampled @ Borefts 2015. Lightly hazy pinkish light amber color, average sized off-white head. Smell and taste a bit like a radler, some artificial red fruits and (Dutch) "aanmaak ranja". Not bad though. .
