Bottle from Westhill SS. It pours cloudy deep purple with a thick magenta head which dissipates quickly. The aroma is sweet - sour, heady berry notes, blueberry in particular, blackberry, fruit cordial, floral accents and juniper. The taste is tart and puckering, juicy, tangy, dominated by berries, blueberry, bramble, touch of raspberry, jammy, fizzy sour candy, touch of jam, mild acidity and some floral accents. Medium+ body and fine, prickly carbonation. Very fruity gear. Maybe lacking a bit of depth, but it's enjoyable nonetheless.

Drukket på Bergstua. Ser ut som appelsinjuice. Veldig uklar. Så vidt litt skum ved høy kvelling. Aroma av appelsinjuice. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken ananas & klementin. Appelsinskall i avslutninga. Øl?
