Hazy amber colour, small white foamy head. Aroma is herbal, some mild plum and a bit minerals and some chalky tones. Flavour is plummy sweet with mild tartness as well as some mild toffee tones to it. Sweetish tart aftertaste.

Draught at Biratenu, small stable creamy head, cloudy very pale red colour, aroma of minerals and light sewer notes, mineral flavor, some yoghurt and a hint of fruitiness, medium lactic sourness, noticable lightish bitterness. Not too complex but nice to drink and well made.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Thornbridge online. Pours hazy, dull grapefruit pink with a creamy, white topping. Light sweet flavour with mellow tartness, delicate tangy plum, nips of citric tang. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Fairly dry in the finish, relaxed plummy tartness. Tasty, easygoing.

440ml can from Mitchell Wines Meadowhead - milky pink body, pink top. Fruity bitterness, pick the plums up straight away, more unripe than sweet. Meh.

Large foamy punk hued head on a murky rhubarb coloured body. Earthy, vegetal & root aroma. Medium bodied, short on the tongue with a dry back. Plum, earthy, vegetable & chalky tastes with a tart finish. Sharp.

Can picked up at Thornbridge. Lovely purple and gold can btw. Pours a kind of milky pale purple tinged amber. Soft pink froth stays the course. Nose has slightly sour plum. Wheat. Not too much else. Taste is semi dry and a little tart. Nice mouthfeel with a gentle acidity and soft rolling carbonation. Dry and tart finish. There was a fair amount of trub in the bottom of this can so maybe it needs a gentle swirl to release a bit more oomph? Nice enough overall but a tad muted.
