Nose is mild berry tang, soft malts, straw, fruit smoothie vibes.
Taste comprises soft malts, mellow hop edge, straw, faint citric, red berry twang, lactic pinch.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Soft pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Hops bring pine, soft ripe citrus and a fair old dollop of Mosaic candy fruits. Soft semi dry finish brings very mild hop spice. Tasty enough, lacks a bit of hop brightness for me.

Three colours red to continue a colourful Northern Monk bar trio. It's a deeper clouded red beer, but crisp tasting and easy, something its appearance doesn't suggest, but offers up in surprise. Red berry is apparent, mostly in taste over aroma. I'm kind of programmed into sour ales of this ilk and look, so this keg pour is sort of messing with my mind on this occasion, and that's part of the fun here.
