Poured from a bottle at CBC 2016, red session. Filmy layer, deep red body, minimal lacing. Tart and dry smell of red and black berries. Taste of tart berries, raspberry to the fore, blackcurrant beneath. Dry and tart ending. Refreshing, not a favourite though (Copenhagen 14.05.2016).

Sample at CBC 2016. Purple with a small pink head. Fresh aroma of raspberries, grape and light oak. Similar taste. Really refreshing and elegant. A great beer. I would love to have at least 100 bottles at my home in Sweden.
