Bottle, 7.3%. Acidic aroma, lactic. Clear golden colour, nice stable white head. The flavour is also acidic, distinctly, but not overwhelming. Has a good, satiating acidity. Actually quite good.

25 cl aluminum can. Brilliant raspberry aroma. Hazy reddish tinged amber color with a fizzing white head that ringed rapidly. Thin in body with mild fizzy carbonation. The flavors are raspberry and raspberry seed. Perhaps wheat can be detected. Perhaps a touch of oak as well. It’s really very tasty, and should go well with a number of foods. The finish is milder raspberry with a bit more recognizable wheat. All in all it’s a good drink.
