Keg draught at Tønne, Leicester. Deep and slightly dark red, clear with a small ring of white head. Disappointingly light cherry aroma, a little metallic. Sweet taste, more cherry here, a little resinous. Very light body with heavy carbonation. I didn't expect all that much but it exceeded basic expectations. A decent choice for a light fruit beer.

Watching Aberdeen in European action with this one - the Dons' Super 8 shirt during their European trophy victory against Real Madrid in 1983 was Neil Simpson. This Super 8 has a stated enough cherry in both aroma and taste, on the sweeter side, but not overly appealing. It's also on the pinker side of cherry in colour terms. Easy enough strength.

Bottle. Reddish, pinkish foam. Aroma: cherry compote and jam, sweet, a little cloying from the flavoring. Taste: sweet (sugar and sweetener), cherry compote, really sad (
