Cloudy red colour, with small pinkish head. Fresh raspberries dominate the aroma, whereas the acid comes second. Flavourwise, acid is most prominent, with earth and raspberries coming after. It’s dry and tart, with a fresh raspberry feel to it. Good sparkling, with surprisingly mellow mouthfeel. ratman197 (3235), Arvada, Colorado, USA

Pours a lovely cherry red with an average size pinkish-white head. Aroma: Oh yeah! Sweet malt, funky yeast, tart raspberries, light spices, oak and light hops -- just awesome. Flavour follows the aroma -- well balanced tart-ey goodness! Medium bodied. Fantastic stuff, a great example of the style. Thanks for sharing Harry! Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA

A rather light raspberry aroma. A bit sharp edged - I would have preferred this more mellow. Acidy, sharp. RichardGretton (3151), Leicestershire, England
