Can from Asda. Hazy deep amber body with a thick beige head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel and strawberry syrup. Flavour of berries and toffee. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A sweet, malty red IPA. This is nice but just lacking a little in the hop department.

I do like Siren and I did so want to really like this. But its got a weird cloying sweetness to it that I just don't dig. Great pour and colour, but the taste ain't great.

Can. Asda. 4 for 3 job. Pretty murky deep cherry red. Very messy sticky lasting off white foam. Nose has lightly jammy notes. Bit of pine. Bit of flora. Taste is fairly sweet overall. Lacks the bitterness you might expect from style. Bit wishy washy on the palate too. Light bitter finish. It’s not pulling any trees up this one.

440ml can from ASDA in Watford, Herts. A deep ruby/red/brown coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Hoppy, malty, caramel, pine, berry fruit aroma and taste. Lacking body, quite bitter and watery, nowhere near as good as the original excellent Liquid mistress.

Can at home picked up from Siren online. A mostly clear nut brown red coloured pour with a lasting loose magnolia head. Aroma is semi sweet, nutty malts, resin, pine sap, light tobacco. Palate is semi sweet, little thin, resin, hop oils, Flavour is composed of semi sweet, layered malts, nutty, brown bread, light wet pine, light spice, ok. Red IPA should be punchier.
