Hazy golden colour with a reddish hue. Aroma and flavour have bubblegum sweetness. Too sweet and jammy.

On tap at Hops, Crewe (presumably BIB). Pours strawberry red with little carbonation. There’s some vague berry fruits in the aroma, but not much. Sweet in the mouth, with apples initially, then some cherries after a while and finally strawberries becoming the main flavour. It’s a bit bland and ordinary.
