Deadication beer to 17th Century Samurai Katakura Kagenaga, who took the call to save the Date Clan from falling into a void, he was born on this day. Guest beer at the Fell Northern Quarter bar. Steady porter, pretty good, decent head and taste to match, which is mildly roasted. Aroma nice.

Nice delicate, velvety and very drinkable. Aroma and taste faint, tropical fruit salad with note of nectarine. Disappointing as for hop study beer.

Third of a pint on cask at the Doncaster brewery.
Medium creamy pink tinged head. Cloudy burgundy pour. Light rhubarb

440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a big lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is is big raspberry, light honey. The flavour is moderate sour, with smooth, somewhat rich, tart raspberry, slightly vinous, light sweet honey palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A stout? If I were wearing a blindfold I’d say this was a tart fruit sour. The raspberry totally dominated. There’s no room for anything else. There isn’t anything balanced about the addition of raspberries as noted in the commercial description! It’s beers like this that make me want to drink macro lagers once again for a fraction of the price I paid for this. If I’d wanted a tart fruit beer that’s what I would have ordered. Disappointing.
