Tasting at Brian's, can
Murky red/purple colour. Strong berry flavour, smooth mouthfeel, light sweetness. A smoothie more than a beer, pleasant.

Purple, hazy. Not much head. On the nose, lots of the raspberry, with a thicker lactose body and a light tartness. Straightforward fruited sour.

473mL can, pours a cloudy bright dark pink with a small pink head. Aroma is very fruity, with lots of raspberries and black currant upfront, with a touch of lactose sweetness. Flavour is like a lacto berry milkshake, with lots of pithy raspberries and currants, followed by yogurty lacto and lactose sweetness. Gentle lemony character here that rounds it off nicely. Solid for what it is.
