500ml Bottle - Hazy amber in colour. Malt, dried fruit and raspberries in the aroma. Fruity, dry and tangy taste with notes of tart raspberries, malt, grain and sultanas. Interesting and fairly refreshing.

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise, London. Pours clear, rich gold with no head. Definitely some raspberry in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor, a bit of raspberry and straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lots of gaming - mostly Counter Strike. Lightly dry and not at all cloying to finish, with more pale malts and raspberry impressions. Pretty damn nice. (3.5)

Update, the day after writing this rate: I wrote this review after an evening of prodigious drinking and, to be honest, I have no idea what that Counter Strike reference is about. Apparently I was having an inner monologue regarding my secondary school gaming practices, answering the question: What first-person shooter games did you play? The answer, of course, would be Counter Strike.

Had this beer again some place, probably Bree Louise or some such. Pours clear, rich gold with no head (no head? Smacks of BR). Definitely some raspberry notes in the nose. Medium sweet flavor with straw first and foremost, then raspberry, some pale malts. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet to finish, lightly dry with decent raspberry character. Not at all cloying, which is nice. More pale malts in the aftertaste. Pretty nice in general. (3.4)

Cask at GBBF. Hazy gold beer. Light dry palate. Some sulphur in here but other than that - not bad! Crisp dry natural tasting raspberry, not strongly flavoured. Light sweet malt. Could have been pretty decent without the sulphur.

Cask-conditioned at the Nottinghamshire beer festival, Seven Stars, Bristol March 2012. Deep amber with a decent, off-white head. Sweet, berry fruit and grain aroma. Flavour had more sweet malts, a touch of raspberry and off-dry finish. Ok.

50cl bottle from the Home Brew Shop, Aldershot. Amber, with a white head that rapidly fades to a ring; definitely a fruity aroma, but I would have guessed cherries in a blind tasting, plus some honey and cereal grains; light bodied with a floury texture and some great fruit, but once again cherry although this time there is raspberry as well; there’s a touch of honey, but not much, leaving a dry cereal finish that seems oaty rather than wheaty. A very pleasant fruit beer - even if it seems a trifle confused to my palate.

Cask@GBBF2010. Orangeish golden colour with a mediumsized off-white head that leaves slight lace. Aroma is mild fruity with some caramel malts and some slight herbal notes. Flavour is berries, fruits, some wheat and mild sweet malts. Refreshing, but not very exciting.

Cask @ Blackfriars.Light orange colour, light pink head. Aroma of cooked vegetables, some wheat. Flavour is sweet raspberry, some wheat. Fairly sweet finish.

Cask (handpump) @ The Harbour Bar, 471-475 High Street, Kirkcaldy KY1 1JL, Fife, Scotland.Clear medium orange color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, fruity - berry, light notes of butter, light raspberry notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20090411]
