To be fair, it does exactly what it says on the tin. And does it well. Lovely sweet and tangy and jammy berry character. Low acidity. Raspberry, strawberry. Cakey accents. Not overly sweet. Drinks quite well for what it is. Very enjoyable.

Can that Em gave me (bought from Waitrose) - thanks Em, although I know you only got it because you like stealing large tasters of my pastry sours! Murky purpley-red colour with a barely-there baby pink head. Tastes of blackberries, strawberries and rhubarb, with creamy vanilla, yoghurt and sponge cake coming through. There's a light hint of cinnamon in the aftertaste. The mild sourness balances out the fruit sweetness well, but as usual in such brews I feel that the sourness (mild though it is) clashes somewhat with the vanilla and cream. As a result this is far from being my favourite from Vault, although it's perfectly drinkable. Em loved it though!

440ml can @ Tim's place, Gent. Pours a hazed reddish pink, white foam atop. Smells wondrous.. stewed red berry fruits, crumble fruits, crumble.. flavour continues with prominent strawberry mush, perhaps a light cinnamon suggestion, well presented.. others weren't too keen, but I liked it. Good stuff
