Scopey Profile - Brewver

Can picked up at BD Castlegate. It pours crystal clear pale yellow - gold with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, juicy, ripe berry character, summer fruits, splash of ribena and funny candy. The taste is crisp, dry, mellow bitterness, berry skin, dull fruity tartness, summer fruits, fruit salad, fairly clean, floral accents and some biscuit in the malt with a dry, berry skin finish. Average to light body and moderate carbonation. Doesn't feel fake / artificial like BD "fruity" beers have had over he last few years, which works for me. Perhaps a bit boring though.
