Bottle from the OGV Taproom. It pours crystal clear pink to red with a decent fluffy pinkish - white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tangy, fairly bright, raspberry jam, victoria sponge cake, candy cane, touch of green apple skin and raspberry pip. The taste is crisp, dry, slightly tart and puckering, fresh raspberry, green apple skin, hint of tannin, light malt base and touch of sherbet/fizzy cherry cola bottles with a dry finish. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. I quite like the tart freshness to it. Exceeded expectations for the fruit beer style.
