Bottle. Clearing out the fridge. Bought off the online shop. Clear ruby red. Ring of loose beige bubbles. Nose has burnt sugar malt. Has a damson jam thing going on. Some hedgerow fruit hoppage. Taste is pretty sweet with a slightly medicinal bitterness. Medium body feels a bit flabby. Fine carbonation. Tiny bit of acidity. Bittersweet finish.

Hand-pulled half-pint on 2nd Nov 2019 at the Fortescue Hotel, Plymouth. Looked, smelled and tasted like a flat glass of 'Vimto' with alcohol added. Semi-sweet and blue/black/loganberries to the fore. No head. Not overly impressed.
