Can: Poured a ruby red with a pinkish white whispery head. Aroma is a bouquet of berries, raspberry, blackberry, cherry, jammy. Taste is light tart forward, then those berries come in, jammy, cherry, hibiscus floral, juicy. Don't really get the saltiness from the label, but that doesn't detract from this beer.

Keg at the Foxglove, Islington. Magenta and hazy with a pinkish white head. Berry-laden aroma, its a light scent and hard to get much else. Taste is tart rather than full-on sour, and ots hard to detect the salty kickback I get from the best goses. Long, bitter/sour finish with more berry notes in the finish. Heavy carbonation. Not a bad beer but neither is it up there with the top of its style.

Keg at The Rake, Borough. Pulpy berry aroma. Tart berry. Low key saltiness. Ruby red haziness. Thin frothy pink blotchy head. Fruity berry uber sourness. Uber sourness, I said. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. My manager ordered pints so only two of us finished it - it was enjoyable if uber tart.

The flavour is moderate sour and sweet, with a light, crisp, slightly tart red berry fruit, light salty palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
