440ml can from Redland Stores, Bristol. Deepest cherry in colour, with a moderately-sized, pink-tinged, head and a slight opaqueness. Aroma of tart blackcurrants. Flavour had a suggestion of berry fruit sweetness upfront, giving way to more tartness that had great length without becoming particularly sour. A refreshing and enjoyable beer.
