440ml can. Poured a hazy golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is raspberry. The flavour is moderate sour, light sweet, with a crisp, tart raspberry, pineapple, light sweet vanilla palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

Draft at Hopdog. Murky peach nectar, low head looks, tart apricot skin nose, sour on the palate initially, fruit nectar with acid, a bit one-dimensional. Sweet and sour condiment.

Tap at HopDog. Opaque golden. Raspberry vanilla, pastry, pineapple. Front heavy, fizzy. Raspberry vanilla, tart. Aftertaste a bit sticky dry. A tad too sweet, but I think I like it. Not undrinkable.

A hazed golden ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light raspberry jam, light pineapples, light lactic notes, Epsom salts, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity mix of tart berries, pineapple juice, light acidic notes, Epsom salts, very nice. On tap at Druggist SG.

Can from Sainsbury's and drunk at home. Turbid pink orange colour lasting off white head. Kettle sour aroma. It's a kettle sour with some lemon some herb some red fruits flavours. Yep a citrus fruit raspberry sour. The aroma of the kettle sourness isn't great. The rest is OK. Not much of a base beer.

Cerveza color salmón rosáceo, espuma blanco hueso, jabonosa bien retenida. Emana aroma con divertidas notas de frutos del bosque, cuero, establo, paja, heno, vainilla...En boca es afrutada, ácida, llevaderamente agria, llena de sabrosos y chispeantes destellos cítricos, frutos del bosque, chucherías, vainilla. Disfrutable y rica

440ml can bought at a Sainsbury's and drunk at home. Peachy reddish gold, hazy, a tiny loose uneven off-white head. Sour aroma, I'm getting passion fruit, lemon juice, champagne. Sourish taste, very hard citrus, maybe a bit of tropical fruit. Light body, spritzy carbonation. Predictable, but pretty damn nice.

Large foamy white head on deep golden coloured body. Raspberry aroma. Medium bodied, foamy & cloying. Raspberry, vanilla, ice cream & tart citrus tastes. Not for me.

Can from Lee Green Sainsburys. Hazy orange pour with a white head. Pineapple, raspberry & peach aromas. Tart raspberry, vanilla & raspberry jam flavours. Dry, sour action. It's alright.
