Continuing with the seasonal theme. Slightly hazy purple, red pour with small, but stable red head. Aroma is black and red currant, malt. Taste is currants, malt/bread, a hint of citrus. Very enjoyable and not boozy at all.

Can from Tesco. Hazy plum coloured body with a few flecks beneath a pale pink head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of blackcurrants and green banana. Flavour of pomegranate, white wine and a juicy, tart finish. Medium to full body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Tart and tangy.

[44cl can from Tesco, Martins Heron. My favourite fruit for rating #10,000.] An opaque blackcurrant colour with a ring of pink froth; luscious blackcurrant aroma with a hint of yeast; intense blackcurrant taste, sharp and fresh, to start then some dry white wine; before a long dry fruity finish. Very enjoyable.

Very attractive looking beer. Cloudy, ruby-purple with abundant, pink-stained foam. The aroma and taste are dominated by notes of black currant, citric acid, white grape. Thick with a very delicate texture, alcohol well hidden. Sour notes are not too intrusive. Great beer

Can shared at CBJ. Cheers! Pours unclear red with a creamy, pink topping. Medium sweet flavour with notes of jammy berries, moderate tartness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Tart and jammy to finish, quenching. Very tasty, fun.

CBJ Tasting. Can l. A light haze on this blackcurrant colour beer. Light smooth malts, a mild creamy sweetness. Good fruity blackcurrant. Fruity linger. Does one job, does it well.
