A kettle soured beer with copious quantities of blackberry. Don't worry, it's meant to be purple!

Can from Sainsbury's. Hazy red with no head. Quite fizzy and a bit watery. Fresh raspberries, blackberry jam. Slight off notes of farmyard and eggs. Tangy rather than sour, and with a very dry finish. It's a sub-par example of a style that I normally enjoy, but it's ok.

[44cl can from Sainsbury's, Bracknell.] A hazy pour with a dusky pink colour and a fast fading white head; blackberry aroma and taste, quite sharp at first, but becoming sweeter; and a clean fruity finish with a refreshing sourness that doesn't quite tingle the tastebuds as it should.

Murky pink beer, thin head soon fizzles out. Doesn't smell.of much. Mellow flavour, fruity, a little floral, a little sharp. Not super tasty but decent.

Draft. A hazy dark golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of berries, brett, malt and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemons, brett, malt, and straw, leading to a tart finish.
