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
