Cloudy crimson with a frothy pink head and tart blackcurrants on the nose. Spritzy and creamy with a tart blackcurrant flavour, just a hint of light malt lurking underneath and a dry fruity finish

The color is deep purple. The head is light purple and on the smaller side. Creamy aroma of blackcurrants, blackcurrant leaves and nettles. Sourish taste of blackcurrants and nettles. Blackcurrants might not be my favorite berries, but this one was just fine.

440ml can from Tesco in Amersham, Bucks. A hazy purple/dark red coloured pour with a medium pinkish head on top. Fruity, blackcurrant, blueberry aroma. Tastes similar, rich blackcurrant, blueberry, grape, slightly creamy. Not particularly sour, really enjoyed this one.

440ml can shared at Benny’s place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky purple colour with a thin off-white head. The aroma is big blackcurrant. The flavour is moderate sour, light sweet, with a smooth, somewhat light, tart blackcurrant, light sweet vanilla palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Well hidden alcohol.

Аромат очень приятный, баданс между умеренной сладостью и небольшой ягодной кислинкой, прежде всего черная смородина и ее листочки, возможно намеки на крыжовник. Цвет темной смородины, пенка как будто фиолетовая. Вкус просто отличный, редко когда такой отличный баланс именно с темной смородиной. В меру кисло и сладко, есть легкий ментол в конце и листочки смородины, сладкие нотки как будто это пяти минутка. Отличный саур хоть и кроме смородины черной ничего и нету.

Can from Tesco and drunk at home. Turbid deep blackcurrant colour lasting dark pink head. Sour cassis aroma. Cassis flavour. Some sourness. Nicely thick in the mouth. It's really quite impressive. Hides abv well. Some sourness on the finish. Yes I really liked this. It's so drinkable. And the fruit is really rich and approachable. Very good
