Keg @ Vocation & Co, Hebden Bridge. Dark red with no head, towards but not quite cherry in appearance. Has a red-berry flavour and an understated sourness.

Keg draught at the brewery tap. Magenta and opaque with a thick ring of pinkish white head. Berry aroma is obfuscated by an almost vanilla sweetness. Odd. Taste is a lot less odd and everything comes together in the mouth. It's lightly tart but not really sour, with a coating of almost icing sugar sweetness. Aftertaste is resplendent in raspberry. Not your traditional mouth-puckering sour but a lovely beer all the same.

Keg at the Pembury Tavern - Hackney. Pours unclear red with a tight, lasting creamy pink head. Lightly sweet with fresh, tart and juicy raspberry, a little fleshy blueberry, decent lemony acidity, nips of seedy bitterness. Light bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Clean, quenching and refreshing finish, nice and true berry character. Sound.
