Bottle @Mad for Beer (Rome). Color porpora, intensa, mediamente torbida, schiuma bianco-sporca medio-leggera. Al naso note di frutta rossa, fragola, mora, mirtillo. In bocca è dolce, fruttata, succosa, con lieve acidità. Corpo medio, carbonazione leggera. Non male, molto ricca e succosa, ma è un po' monodirezionale e le manca acidità a bilanciare.

Keg at BD Brixton. Pulpy berry aroma. Hazy ruby. Frothy pink tinged white head. Medium sour. Gains some strength, however the berries shine throughout. Redcurrant? A nutty edge smooths off the sourness and some spice. Light-medium bodied. Slick Average carbonation. Super juicy.
