--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Clear pale peach colour, fizzy head. Aroma of rosewater and red berries. Tart with very light body and mouthfeel, spritzy carbonation. Berryish soda with mild tones of interesting honey. Low bitterness. Pretty diluted, and unnecessarily flavoured. The actual honey seem pretty delicious, just too little of it.

Red clear colour, tiny pinky head. Aroma has light honey and gooseberry. Light-bodied. As said sparkling carbonation. Dry flavour with red gooseberries dominating, honey lurking. Decent.
