Bottle shared by Mr Bois - cheers. Gusher! It pours deep cloudy red with minimal head. The nose is earthy, funky, grape must, berry skin, cherry, raspberry pip and sherbet. The taste is crisp, tart, acidic, lactic, raspberry, cherry, redcurrant, sherbet and fresh fruit cocktail with a dry, tart finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Crisp, tart and super-fruity. One of De Garde’s best.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Colin. Pours soupy, bloody purple with a creamy pink head. Vibrant tart berry aroma with nips of wood, leather and mouldy funk. Light-medium sweet flavor with strong sourness, rich berries, raspberries, mild grassy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine, fizzy carbonation. Cleansing sour berry finish, lightly tannic, with some old wood, leathery fruits, raspberry, cherry. Solid. Very refreshing, quenching.

Keepers Bottle at Borefts 2014. 8.2%. Hazy amber thin white head. Bit of funk on aroma. Salt and vinegar crisps. Bit of sweet cognac. Over carbonated. white wine aroma. Too much salt n vinegar and sherbert. Good aroma though

750mL bottle, pours a pinkish ruby red with a medium pink / beige head. Aroma brings out loads of blackberries and raspberries, with some light wheat. Flavour brings out lots of wheaty notes and very light blackberries. Not getting any whiskey notes at all. Quite funky and wheaty. A very nice berry-tinged Berliner. Excellent stuff.
