(Can) Pours hazy blood red with loose pink head, quite interesting looking beer. Aroma is disappointing - bread, wet cardboard with citrus and berry hints. Medium body with very nice carbonation - fine and bright - and some surprising stickiness. The taste is weird and complicated. There’s bread, and bubblegum, and citric tartness, and hints of blueberry and floral notes, and cardboard and funkiness. It’s sour, but not very sour, for a sour - there’s some balancing sweetness but subtle. The alcohol provides a subtle kick. Complexity is often good, but here it’s mainly confusing. I find myself keeping taking another mouthful, not because it is great, but because it is confusing. An interesting drink.

Pours mauve with a large fading pink-tinged head.Nose shows subtle blueberry, perfumous notes, , rose, fruit confectionery.Flavours include blueberry, booze, a fair whack of sweetness, a little bit of acidity. The booze sticks out a bit amongst the delicate flavours.
