Pale pink head, fast disappearing over flamingo-pink to strawberry coloured beer; shards of lace. Raspberry jam, raspberry cake. Not much else. Faint sourish, citrus-like flavour twirling around raspberry - if again more like (homemade) raspberry jam, than like fresh raspberries. Good balance sweet-sour. Good carbonation, lingering light acidity, fruit-slick. Pretty decent, amusing. Txs to Stef!

Can at share. Cloudy golden pour, small sturdy white head. Aroma is berries, fresh, fruity, tartness. Taste is full on raspberry with a soft sour bite.

On tap at New Inn Canterbury. Cloudy pink red colour thin white head. Aroma of puppy raspberry sour. Good fruit aroma. .its not a lambic. No funk. But the fruit is solid. The sourness is OK. I like the sour raspberry flavour very much

From tap at Brewhemia, Edinburgh. Big tart raspberry, raspberry yoghurt, some raspberry candy. Tart and medium sour flavour. Rudimentary but nice.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Lightish pink aroma, a little bit of haze with a spotty white head. Tart raspberry with a nice note of vanilla in the aroma. Berry tartness in the taste as well but there is a scrumptious malt base. Really nicely balanced. Slightly more sour in the finish. Moderate to heavy carbonation. Very simple and very good.

Bottle, courtesy of MiP. Pours slightly hazy dark amber with stable off-white head. Clear, dry aroma of berries and sour yeast, with touches of malt. Dry flavour of berries and sour yeast, with botes of malt and dust, and hoppy touches. Acidic aftertaste with dusty notes. Decent.

Can shared at work. Semmi faxni, málnás sour, megpakolva gyümölccsel, nagyon intenzív, kellemesen savas. Van viszont valami furcsa,érdekesen paradicsom-szerű jellege a gyümölcsnek itt-ott, ami azért rányomja a bélyegét a sörre alaposan. Talán oxidáció lehet?
