Brewdog Clapham. Keg. Very hazy orange - amber beer, small white head. Palate is airy and dry, good fine crispness. Jammy raspberry fruits. Lemon acid bite, but not too much. Light crisp finish. Not bad, just a little tart.

Keg at BD CJ. It pours hazy bright deep orange with a small white head. The nose is soft, fresh, strawberry, raspberry, herbal, earth and coriander. The taste is crisp, tart, fresh, raspberry, strawberry, light spice, earth, herbal and dirt with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Interesting, but not super drinkable.

On tap at the brewery. Cloudy orange pink colour lasting white head. Some sour aroma. OK fruit in the mouth in fact the raspberry fruit is lovely. Well integrated and good Pippy sourness. So flavour is better and the finish than aroma. Really quite delicious. Apparently all the sourness is from the fruit and not a sour mash. Cool.

Draft at the brewery taproom. Pours hazy grapefruit pink with w creamy white head. Tangy citrus in the nose, some raspberry, lemon, subtle funky notes. Light sweet flavor, pleasantly tart, with seedy raspberry, mild lemon acidity, pear. Light bodied with average, spritzy carbonation. Clean and refreshing on the finish, more lemony tartness, raspberry. Not really getting any basil, but that’s OK. It’s quite quenching.

Keg at the brewery. Orange / peach hazed coloured pour with a fine small light whisp of a head. Aroma is slight tart funk, wheat, tart raspberry, hairspray, slight basil as well. Flavour is composed of doughy wheat grains, semi sweet with a little tart raspberry fruit, zippy citrus and a assertive back of the throat bitterness. Decent raspberry character, little rough round the edges. Palate is medium bodied with a spicy finish, wheaty and a slight prickle in the finish. OK.
