Cherry red with a crimson cap that thins to the edge.
Nose is cherry skins, Ribena, damp straw, not a lot offered.
Taste comprises sweet berries, sugars, lactic tang.
Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close.
Crap ... no sour elements ... could have been drinking Ribena all along!

can bought at The Fossil Thief, Portsmouth. Hazy-opaque pale gold. Thin foamy white head. Aroma combines bitter citrus with herbs and a vinous edge. Dank. Flavourwise it's then more sweet than Inwas expecting - candied stone fruit and citrus. Peripheral bitterness - herbal and vinous - adding some dankness. Underlying porridge. Light-medium bodied. Buoyant soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Easy drinking NEPA, sweet but with the right amount of bitterness.

Keg at Fossil Thief, Gunwharf Quays. Thick viscous appearing plumb/violet. No head. Aroma has fruit with a hint of spice. Flavourwise we have pithy fruit with a sour edge and hint of booze. Thick. Oily with pith. Flat-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable enough boozie smoothie.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#93. Back on the mainland with this cloudy pink sticky sour. The raspberry is more dominant in taste than aroma, with plenty of sweetness, within a sour style obviously. Quite a rich tasting example of the style. Sugary throughout with a bit of.candy floss in its nose.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#45. Another Lifecraft delivered ale. Sweet exotic fruit in this, in both aroma and taste. It's a little rich tasting in this respect, but good for a tin. Drank by the coast.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#34. North coast beach beer before bed. Hoppy tropical fruits mix, somewhat sweet in the latter, but also subdued by the former. Pleasant though.
