Can from RAD at Bourne Woods. Light hazed berry red colour with a pinkish head. Aroma and taste are berry sweet and tangy, with blueberry and cherry. Tart to crisp body.

500ml can. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of roast malts, slightly ashy, chocolate. Taste follows suit, a roasty affair with some light ashy flavours, dark chocolate, subtle hints of liquorice and dark fruit, bittersweet though leaning decidedly on the bitter side. Light-medium bodied, smooth almost creamy mouthfeel. Non-adjunct non-imperial stouts seem to be a rarity in the craft beer world these days; this was a very nice one.

Can ordered from the brewery by my Mrs. Aroma is big and pulpy with a tart sour edge. Blueberry dominates. Opaque cherry red. Thin foamy white head soon recedes. Medium sour. Fruity. The sweet marshmallow comes through into the finish. Sour but not all up in yer face. Medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Pleasant fruity Sour.

Can ordered from the brewery by my Mrs. Aroma is vanilla led, followed by tea and after that the sourness traipses along. Hazy-opaque pale orange. Thick foamy white head. Flava has sourness: pineapple, slightly vinous. Followed by an interesting sweet vanilla streak with green tea adding another dimension. Vinous finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Yeah. Nice.

Can ordered from the brewery by my Mrs. Aroma had a berry rang but the edge is smoothed out by honey and vanilla. Opaque ruby red. Fluffy foamy pink head. Flava matches the aroma. There are tart berries but the honey and vanilla add a calming influence. Makes me think of the juice my Grandmother in Finland used to make with the berries from my Grandfather's three allotments + 6:00am berry picking in the forest. Only with more sourness and sweet adjuncts. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Long dry astringent finish. Sour, easy drinking sour.

Can ordered from the brewery by my Mrs. Aroma is big and fruity and tangtastic. A pinky reddy almost violet... 1807C according to my colourchart. Fluffy foamy white head. Sour. But with a sweet vein. The strawberry dominates for me. Yoghurt and sherbert. Light-medium bodied. Creamy. Flat-average carbonation. Long astringent finish. Yummer. But this style confuses me... how do I differentiate it from a Sour Ale?!

Can ordered from the brewery by my Mrs. Aroma is sweet and peachy with a dryness to it. Hazy pale gold. Frothy foamy white head. Very sweet. Slightly bitter edge. All about the peaches. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long slightly dry finish. A peach beer, the Pils element is essentially irrelevant. Nice enough.

Can ordered from the brewery by my Mrs. Aroma has chai spice and underlying mocha. Dark. Cola tint. Thick creamy beige head. Flavawise we have tang, man. Espresso and liqourice are my initial reaction. The floral yet spicy chai then sweeps in. Medium-heavy bodied. Creamy. Lifted by soft-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Nice.
