Bottle at Hoppy Loft. Golden colour, clear, small white head. Aroma is lightly peppery, bit fruity, nice light graininess. Taste is good, pretty subtle black pepper, but it does linger and becomes more prominent as the rest fades. There's other stuff there but I am struggling to pick it. Definite belgian feel, possibly with the body. Grainy bread. Good stuff. Maybe a bomber was too much but it makes me feel like I have eaten, so could be a good thing.

Tight creamy yet bubbly head stayed in a highly effervescent strawberry red body. Floral aroma with berry, rose petals & citrus. Medium to thin bodied, exceedingly sharp over the tongue with well carbonated dry back. Strawberry, raspberry, hibiscus, rosé wine & lemon with long range citrus finish.

On keg at Brewdog Lothian Rd, Edinburgh. Appearance - bright red and slightly autumnal looking. Nose - tart red fruit. I'm going to say raspberry and cherry. Woody note. Taste - tangy red fruit again. Maybe even strawberry this time. Palate - long and tangy finish. Gently tapered. Close to medium bodied. Overall - excellent sour. Not quite in the vinegar realms of Flemish red but pretty close.

Can in NH. Gusher! It might be a little aged, to be fair. Pours clear honey-gold with a billowing, frothy white head. Not bad, some floral and piney hops, sun-kissed pale malts. Light bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Finishes with more bitter pine, citrus peel, Flora notes, crispy pale grains. Decent.

Can, from Malt & Mold. Pours extremely hazy/juicy bright yellow with small foamy whitish head, sweet citrus aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter citrus peel-mango-pineapple taste, smooth body, long finish. Very smooth and easy to drink.
