On cask at Callister, pours a hazy pinkish red with a small pink head. Aroma brings out loads of fresh mixed berries, some pith and juiciness. Flavour is very fruity and juicy, with loads of fresh juicy berries upfront imparting natural sweetness, medium sourness and a touch of pith. Very nice.

On tap at Callister, pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma smells like peach Snapple, artificial as hell. Flavour confirms this, with lots of artificial peach Snapple and light sourness. Another pointless beer from these guys.

On cask at Callister, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of watermelon, somewhat artificial but also some authenticity to it, with moderate sourness and a touch of acidity. Flavour is extremely ascorbic and harsh, with intensely acidic watermelon notes and harsh sourness. I'm a big sour fan but this is harsh. Not offensive, just difficult to have on the palate. I appreciate the attempt, but this is really harsh.

Opaque brown color. The sour smell frankly reminds me of rotting fruit; I also brewed once a Mead with fruit and it smelled like this during fermentation. No carbonation; a bit too warm for such beer; the Rye Mild flavor is usually not bad, but here it’s muted by the fruit.
Just another pointless creation of the lack of inventiveness.

On cask at Callister, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out artificial plums, not much else. Flavour is nasty, with artificially, cloying plum, and subdued bready notes. Another disgusting, pointless creation. How is this sold?

On tap at Callister. Pours a cloudy brown with a tan head. Aroma is sour frutiness, yeasty. Taste is with prunes and caramel notes. Meh.

Cloudy, faint fruity aroma. Light fruity notes, but indistinct. Maybe a touch of wheat, otherwise just not a whole lot of flavour in there.

Dark brown color, almost black. Aroma of roasted malts, strong molasses, phenol. No carbonation, a bit too warm, some roasted malt flavor, weak ashy final; possibly there is a trace of spice. Too much tasting like medicine.
Mah?

Cloudy blond color with thick head. Smells of rubber, rancid beer, ass. Sweet, light candy-like fruit, pineapple, no bitterness.
Forgettable.

On cask at Callister, pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out faint berries and soft wheaty notes. Flavour brings out slightly artificial berry notes and soft wheat. Not offensive, but the fruitiness is bizarre. Not impressive.
