Fruity tart. The mainpart has lots of beetroot tartness with fruity apples. Earth, fruit. Interesting. The aftertaste is beetroot, fresh-fruity, earthy vegetables.

Bag-in-a-box at White Lady JDW. Pours clear pink, no head. Aromas of fresh beetroot, light apple. Taste is more apple with beetroot at the back. Lacks that earthy note I’ve had in other beetroot flavoured drinks, which is no bad thing. Not bad.

Cask at the Bankers Draft, Bedford. Clear, mauve (yes, mauve) and still. Aroma of apples mostly, with a hint of beetroot. Taste is initially too saccharin, then the umami savouriness of the beetroot kicks in. Wonderfully confusing umami-laden aftertaste. I like this (probably more than I should).

Taste is earthy beetroot with apple, vanilla & barnyard notes. Light bodied, low carbonation, fairly clean finish with some lingering beetroot. Interesting, Quite OK.
