On tap at Spinnakers, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with black tea - smells like an iced black tea in fact. Flavour is loaded with bergamot and other black tea-like notes, with the classic English malt backbone still apparent. This is quite nice.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5
On tap at Spinnakers, pours a hazy faded peachy pink with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright raspberries upfront, with a dry apple backbone. Flavour is bone dry, with less of the raspberries than the nose suggests - it's mostly just bone dry apples, with a slight trace of tart raspberries. Not a whole lot of depth, but it's clean and highly drinkable.
