Murkyisg dull gold with a bubbly white head. Jam on the nose, sweet and sickly with a good amount of fizz alongside a creamy mouthfeel, a kick of something and a long sweet finish

Can from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Salford. Hazy golden with a head. Jam is dominant amongst its titled ingredients, and quite pleasantly sweet in a milkshake styling texture.

Can, gift from Ali (cheers!) - she got it from Morrisons. Lightly hazed yellow gold with a large white head. Lots of cheap raspberry jam up front, followed by a sweet doughy note. Makes me think of jam doughnuts. Then custard comes through. They've definitely achieved what they were aiming for then, although quite why they were aiming for it I'm unclear. Unfortunately there's a plasticky, artificial aftertaste. Despite this it is actually more drinkable than you'd expect, and certainly better than the apple crumble one in the same range. Still not great though.

330ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Nov 23. Thanks Mike for this. The last of the novelty Morrison's 4-pack. Misty gold, white cap. Aroma is custardy and raspberry, taste is custardy.. some mild raspberry.. thought it would taste lighter.. not too bad.

Monday 27th November 2023, Monthly gathering in Chez Sophie. Cheers Mike for the 330ml can of this. Hazed golden orange with a white head. Custard and raspberry Jam came to mind in both the aroma and taste, so pretty close to what the label claimed and the name suggests; not bad for a 'joke beer'.

Hazy yellow colour with big fluffy head. There's obviously a sweet sharp jammy note and softer vanilla too so it delivers on the promise. Quite artificial and a bit plasticy though.
Certainly fruity, but in a very artificial and overly-sweet way.

Can thanks to Stuu666. Appearance - orange with a thin head. Nose - sweet strawberry jam. Some muffin. Taste - strawberry laces and strawberry syrup. Cakey at the back. Palate - light bodied and confected. Overall - really sickly.

330ml can from Morrisons. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a short-lived, fizzy white head. The aroma is raspberry, vanilla, lactose. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a crisp, tart raspberry, vanilla custard palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Aunt Bessie would turn in her grave. What’s going on at Northern Monk? Not the kind of “ beer” you want to drink in any kind of volume.
Can at ashs... Hazy amber.. Thin white lacing... Soft sweet berries juicy fruits.. Light sweet caramel fruit.. Sherbert.. Fake strawberry
