From a 330ml can on 10/1/2020. Pours an opaque pink with no head. The nose is tart and fruity. Tastes of raspberry, strawberry and lime, though there's not a lot of sweetness to it. Dominated by a tart lime sourness at the back. Light bodied with fizzy carbonation. Reasonably refreshing. The score is more reflective of the fact that this is not my sort of thing. If you like sour, fruity, summery things, it's worth a try.

Bottle shared with the KL Tasting Crew. Poured a hazy golden colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is yeasty, big zesty citrus. The flavour is moderate sour, with a light, crisp, fresh, fruity, big yeasty palate. Medium bodied with light to moderate carbonation. Nicely balanced and not overly sour.
