Draught keg at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Greenish blue, clear with a large aqua/cream head. Sour sweets on the nose with a surprising note of coconut. Taste is very sweet with a dusting of sour which somehow is also sweet. Light to medium body with a little carbonation. I agree with both of the previous reviews: it almost isn't Beer anymore but it's oddly delicious.

Keg at Siren, Reading. New brewery for me. Turquoise to aquamarine with a thin white head; looks like loo cleaner, so hardly an appealing appearance. The aroma is of coconut cream. It tastes of blue raspberry slushy followed by more coconut cream. There's almost no sourness here at all, just a lot of sugary sweetness. The coconut is rather nice; the fake raspberry distinctly less so, and it leaves an artificial-tasting, sticky, tooth-dissolving residue. It's gone too far - this ain't a beer any more, it's some sort of ghastly American soda, and it can fuck right off.

Tried at the Nottingham BF 2024 Maybe more turquoise than blue. Sweet to tart fruity. A bit bubblegum. Medium body.
