Keg at BrewDog Shoreditch - London. Pours hazy purple with a creamy reddish head. Inviting nose, some berry fruits. Light-medium sweet flavor with refreshing berry tartness, Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Cleansing and lightly drying to close, with more tart berries, mild acidity. Solid.

Brewdog Sheps Bush. Keg. Hazy reddish purple beer. No head. Palate is light, minerally crisp and dry. Sour! Sour blackberry and blackcurrant jam. Little lemon acid. Minerally crisp finish. Tart and fruity, about as sour as I can still enjoy.

Keg at Brewdog Edinburgh. Pours clear red, thin pinkish head. Aromas of ribena, sour ribena at that! Taste is sharp, with blackberries at the back. Zingy sour finish. Nice.

Tap at Brewdog Birmingham. Poured a clear dark red colour with a thin light pink head. The aroma is yeast, raspberry citrus. The flavour is light sour with a yeast, ripe raspberry acid palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Not bad but some of the higher ratings surprise me.

Keg at Brewdog Shepard?s bush. Hazed beautiful deep purple / pink coloured pour with a fine pink head. Aroma is fresh tart blackberry and raspberry with a slight musty funk. Flavour is big tart sharp fresh fruit, BlackBerry being the foremost fruit. Really good sour punch which is pretty clean. Some woody pips add to the depth. Palate is sharp, clean and semi dry finish. Really nice fruity sour.

The taste is crisp, tart, bramble, lemon sherbet, limeade, juicy fruits, blackcurrant, raspberry, great mouth-pucker and Ribena with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Great tart fruits. Really tart and juicy. Great.
