Poured from 355mL can. Slightly hazy orangey red with small white head. Quite mild black currant with a bit of wheat. Quite boring.

Pale purple. On the palate, wheaty and a bit yeasty. Just a touch of blackcurrant.

Nice clear deep red body and a bit of foam, good sweet currant on the nose with malt hints. Flavour is subtle currant and malt. Okay carbonation but a little too mellow, could be fuller.

On tap at Brewhall, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Nose brings out biscuity malt, toasted grains, and barely a trace of the currant. Flavour is clean but very bland, with biscuity malt and cereal graininess. Not much of the fruit. Simple and unremarkable.

Small can at Farees'. Pours a hazy red ish copper with a white head. Aroma is red currant jam with some sourness. Taste is similar. Ve4y easy drinkable a bit jammy. Meh.

Draught at Parallel 49, Vancouver
Red-amber colour, hazy, bright. Mild berry aroma. Lean body, at least it's not too dry, it helps a bit to show the berry juiciness, but currants are not expressive fruits, and this beer also has quite a share of vegetable bitterness in the finish.
Not very good.

Draft - Light bread if anything. Clearish Red with a decent white head. A bit peppery and red berry with a light finish.
