Turning Tide uses surplus bread to highlight the issue of food waste and is part of Toast Ale's Companion Series. It sends a message to world governments at the COP26 summit that by working collaboratively we can effect change. Transferring the ocean’s ebb and flow to human affairs, a turning tide suggests a shift with the arrival of reinforcements.

Cask at the Nelson prior to yet another Ipswich defeat. Aroma of raspberry, malts and caramel. Taste is of toffee, raspberry and other winter berries. Very smooth with a slightly bitter finish. Not bad.

Can from Home Bargains, Rochdale. Reddy-brown coloured with a sweet aroma and taste through its raspberry, which isn’t overbearing but is the brew’s dominant ingredient. It has a fairly soft and clean tasting texture.

27/7/2022. Can shared by SHIG, cheers. Pours clear dark amber bronze with a frothy off-white head. Good looking beer. Aroma of caramel, raspberry, dried fruit, malt, light toasted bread, hint of smoke. Moderate sweetness, quite bitter, touch of tart. Medium body, oily, quite fizzy. Something a bit different from Adnams, quite enjoyed it.

Can. No idea where from. Been sat in the fridge months. Clear deep amber. Very decent glossy off white foam. Nose has raspberry purée. Toasted grain (is that intended?). Some toffee. Raspberry jam. Taste is fairly sweet with a good hit of tart raspberry. Nicely easy drinking with brisk carbonation. More raspberry to finish. Unexpectedly good.

(Can) Pours clear amber brown with small head. Aroma is raspberries, more jammy than fresh. Very pleasant. Medium body with plenty of soft carbonation. Good, unusual taste with a contrast between tangy raspberries and a dark toffee burnt bitterness. Very nice.
