A lot paler than I was expecting from the description. Smells berry'ish for sure. Taste is very light and subtle, with a nice little sourness in it but also some sweet and bitter. Something almost nutty in the back, but plenty of light fruit. Almost soda.

Keg at MS, HW, 18/10/19. Cherry red with a faded crimson cap that clears to edgework. Nose is mellow berry fruits, tangy blackcurrant, grassy, damp cloth . Taste carries a light acidic tickle, pink berry sherbets, hay, lemon drizzle, light berry yoghurt notes, trace of herb and hedgerow. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a light acidic bimble. Not bad .... easy drinking sour.

Keg at the mad Squirrel tap Berko. A clear cherry pink peach coloured pour with a lasting frothy pink head. Aroma is floral hibiscus, peach, dry flint. Some dried raspberry. Flavour is composed of dry tart grains, raspberry, floral hibiscus, sharp, light chalk, peach. Palate is tart, tangy, fine highish carbonation. Not bad. Little Turkish delight.
