440ml can from who knows where. Poured a clear reddish brown colour with a short-lived, fizzy, off-white head. The aroma is big raspberries and grapes unsurprisingly. The flavour is moderate sour, light sweet, with a light, crisp, tart raspberry, light sweet vanilla palate. Medium to light bodied with lively carbonation. It’s ok to taste of course but I struggled to drink the whole can alone and it’s not something i’d ever buy again.

440 ml can, from Left Field Beer, England. ABV is 6.0%. "Dirty" dark purple colour, moderate to small off-white head. Distinct aroma of crushed red grapes and raspberries as expected, also notes of blueberries and blackcurrants. The flavour is moderately sour and not very sweet, with the same fruits / berries, a hint of vanilla. Dull finish, low bitterness.

Keg @ Brewery Tap, Leeds. Darker hazy amber with a head. A sour stout! Disgusting and wonderful at the same time, actually it grows on you with each sip. There's lots of caramels to be found in this one. They are dominant in aroma too

440ml can. A gift, possibly from HoTM in York. Drunk at home. Bluish purple, hazy with a large white head. Floral scent, some red grape. Big taste of sweet grape soda, vanilla bean. Only a light sourness at the finish, overall this is a very sweet beer. Medium body and carbonation. Interesting and fun.
