Keg at BD Soho, 10/04/19. Purple berry red with a faded crimson cap. Nose pissy berry scent, funk, tarte red berries, wood must. Taste comprises tangy berry fruits, sharp blackcurrant, cherry skins, damp hay, barnyard esters. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a light puckering kiss. Decent flavoursome and refreshing sour.

440 ml can, canned 18/02/19, shared by Sebilinz, thanks!
Dark purple-ruby, hazy body, with a smal, light pink head.
Aroma of red and dark berries, barnyard, red apples, yoghurt, straw, some citrus.
Tastes quite similar, while with even more juicy fruits.
Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes very fruity, moderate sour, moderate sweet, a bit dry, with juicy berries, red fruits, apples, moderate yoghurt.
Tasty! So much juicy, thick fruits everywhere, while very well balanced, fresh to drink and with just enough sourness. Outstanding, fruit-foward stuff.
Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 17

440ml can. Pours a deep reddy purple with a light pink head. Aroma of acai and blueberry, other berries. Taste is light sweet, sour, tart, acai and blueberry up front, I got the cranberry/pomegranate in the finish, seemed to be the lingering flavour actually, tart sour finish, very juicy. Medium body and carbonation. Great stuff.

Appearance is dark purple, a light purple thick fizzy head which very quickly disappears. Aroma- blackcurrant, fruity, cranberry, fruit juice, rhubarb traces. Taste- lots and lots of fruit- cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, apple, hop bitterness underneath, thick fruity full mouthfeel, sourness runs underneath, with sweet fruit sat on top.

Can, many thanks Tara! Murky purple milkshake color with large pink head. Aroma is blueberries, açaí indeed (as far as I can tell). Taste is açai, pomegranate I get more than blueberries, lacto smoothie, slightly tart in the back. Thick milky mouthfeel with low carbonation. Very good!
