(Cask at Cock Tavern, Hackney, London, 27 July 2019) Hazy red colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, slightly sourish nose with red fruit, raspberries and toast. Fruity, slightly tart taste with notes of raspberries, red berries, tart fruit, lemon and a mild spicy bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and refreshing. Quite enjoyable.

As you'd expect. Lots of grapefruit, bit of cat pee, sharp, quite bitter. Maybe a bit too much for me, but nice.
