This blackcurrant sour is the perfect combination of tangy and tart. Refreshingly sour, getting you into the vibe for Ribes. Other blackcurrant drinks are available, but this will be the only one to give you those good time ribes.

440ml can from Mad Squirrel, High Wycombe. Poured a hazy dark pink colour with a very short-lived, fizzy, off-white head. The aroma is yeast and big blackberries. The flavour is moderate to light sour, with a crisp, fizzy, tart, juicy blackberriy palate. Medium to light bodied with lively carbonation. A little one-dimensional, but very refreshing.
