(355ml can from the cidery webshop) Pours nearly clear bright red with a nice cap of pink-white foam and no lace but some apparent strawberry pip sediment. Aroma is intense fresh sweet strawberries, vibes of those strawberry hard candies with wrappers that look like the berries, and dried berries in granola...more strawberry than strawberry. Back notes of barely funky yeastiness, fresh white grape, and some subtle florals. Flavour is quenching, lightly sweet with a little wine acidity, again lots of fresh sweet strawberries and a candy vibe to accent, backbeats of floral rose, something like cereals despite there being none, creamy full flavour with a little lactic vibe, long strawberry finish with no real phenolic pips and soft tannic bite. Medium-full body, creamy smooth can-conditioned carb. One of the best summer crushers in any genre (beer, wine, cider) I've had in a while. Fun stuff!
