330ml bottle [thanks to Grumbo for this one!]. Hazy, pink-ish amber colour with small to average, frothy, diminishing, white head. Tart-ish, acidic, raspberry aroma, hints of raspberry sherbet. Taste is dry, tart, fruity, notes of raspberry, a leafy touch; light and rather watery, fizzy carbonation. A bit monotonous and too simple overall.

Tap at Craft Room. Hazy golden, big lasting white head. Creamy, full sweetish peach/mango aroma. Fine. Watery, very watery body, mango hoppiness, vague herbal touches, washed out even for the abv, the vague lack of carbonation not helping it much. Okay, not much more.
