Monday, 1st April 2024; Monthly gathering in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Five guys with beers to share and stories to tell. Clear 75cl bottle. Red and raspberries, pink head and raspberries. Not as tart or raspberry flavoured as expected (pleased about that actually).

75cl bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, April 24. Pours a vivid raspberry red, pinkish off-white head. Can see a big raspberry presence in the glass but to taste it's strangely not fruity at all.. expected a lot of raspberry to come through but it's replaced by a strange woody, earthy character. I'm sure there are other bottles that taste fantastic, but sadly this isn't one of them.
