Can ordered from the brewery by my Mrs. Aroma had a berry rang but the edge is smoothed out by honey and vanilla. Opaque ruby red. Fluffy foamy pink head. Flava matches the aroma. There are tart berries but the honey and vanilla add a calming influence. Makes me think of the juice my Grandmother in Finland used to make with the berries from my Grandfather's three allotments + 6:00am berry picking in the forest. Only with more sourness and sweet adjuncts. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Long dry astringent finish. Sour, easy drinking sour.

Can big thanks to my bro. It pours cloudy deep purple with a bubbly white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tangy, chocolate full of berries, vanilla yoghurt, raspberry, bramble, fruit crumble, creaminess, blood orange and pomegranate. The taste is sweet - sour, juicy, raspberry, bramble, cranberry, jammy, granny smith apple, pomegranate, blood orange, tangy, touch of bitterness, twist of citrus, fruit smoothie and limited alcohol presence with a tangy finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Very fruity gear. Hides the abv well.

500ml can. Hazy deep red, off-pink head. Aroma of hedgerow berries, vanilla, zesty citrus. Taste of blackberry and raspberry, sweet creamy vanilla, zesty citrus, very sour and hoppy finish. Impressed by how sour this TIPA is; a lot of breweries forget that Sour IPAs should be sour.
