330ml can from Whole Foods, Kensington. Pours with a purple tinge to a golden body. Loose bubbles atop. Strong perfumed hibiscus aroma, works well with the honey to taste. Crisp palate with tart red Berry notes. Ok.

Bottle at BeerFest Asia, X Edition. Poured a hazy burgundy colour with a frothy pink head. The aroma is sweet honey, red berry fruity, sticky sugary malts. The flavour is moderate to strong sweet with a smooth, rich, fake sugar water, light mineral, light tart fruit, light floral palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. A little too light and watery for me. Not easily drinkable in any quantity.
