Can from Brew Export Advent Calendar. Beetroot red. Hazy. Head disappeared in seconds. Aroma has initial fruity and berry sourness before a sweet honey, dough and custard element appears. Flavourwise it is sweet and sour - the lemon and berries and honey. Underlying custard. Hints of dough in the mix. But a sour edge throughou. Medium-thick bodied. Creamy. Soft-flat carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Highly drinkable if highly offensive to traditionalists.
Some big berry apple and pear flavours. Hints of spice.
