Appearance is pinky red, with a small foamy clingy head. Aroma is Parma violets, flowers, lavender hints, perfumy notes. Taste is Parma violets, sweet shop, berry fruit, tart fruit, perfumy candy. Does what it says on the tin.

Can at home picked up from Vault city online. A light hazed reddish pink coloured pour with a decent pinkish head. Weird blue sludge at the bottom of the can. Aroma is tart raspberry. floral, violets, creamy notes, raspberry and cream, prickly red berries. Flavour is composed of tart prickly raspberry, parma violets, floral notes, blueberries, prickly, mixed berries, yougurty tartness, light acid pinch. Good fun, but a bit hard to get through a whole can.

Can. A light haze on this magenta colour beer, small pale pink head. Smooth and semi dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin creamy malts, a little milky. Tart Parma Violets! I can cope with tart Parma Violets but with milky note, it's a bit odd. Quite a dry finish and very slightly acidic. Entertaingly Parma Violets but delivered in a pretty clunky manner. Yeah, a very mixed bag.
