440ml can as part of a delivery. Dark reddish gold and cloudy with a small off-white head. Notes of sweet berry with some slightly soured milk on the aroma. Sweet taste with raspberry shining through in the initial sip, turning to notes of yoghurt and white chocolate in the finish. A bit of an odd almost artifical aftertaste, not entire unusual for this style. Thick oily body, soft carbonation. Good beer, not perfect but enjoyable.

Cask handpull at GBBF 2018. Red amber colour lasting pink head. Lovely raspberry flavour. Soft carbonation. I did like the fruit very much. It's decent. A half was probably enough. Good fruit though.
