Can from Many Mart, Aberdeen. It pours clear pink - blush with a small, fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet and intoxicating, welches grape juice, medicinal, purple soothers, candy, grape sherbet and candy. The taste is very sweet, white sugar, tangy, artificial grape, welches grape juice, purple soothers and purple tunes with a candy finish. Light body and moderate carbonation. The grape essence dominates. Very artificial. Silly stuff, not to revisit.

Bottle from Wine Raks, Aberdeen. It pours fairly clear golden - blonde with a decent white head. The aroma is toasty grains, nutty, cereal, wood, sweet biscuit, doughy malt, grass, herbal accents and some white sugar. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, bitter - sweet, herbal, green veg, leafy, damp grass, biscuit, oat cake, sponge cake, white bread, muted alcohol presence and white sugar with a green, herbal finale. Average body and moderate+ foamy carbonation. A pretty interesting offering. Drinks fine, but definitely rather green and also sweet. Not sure I would rush back though.
