Apr 16, 2008 Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading. This was a case of guess the fruit, the bar staff didn’t know what was supposed to be in it; unfortunately raspberry wasn’t the answer I came up with at a blind tasting. The beer was gold with a thin cream head; aroma was grainy with a touch of orange; certainly fruity flavours, I got dry cherry and grape, but with hindsight there was probably some raspberry in there somewhere. Bitter and dry to finish. Overall rather unbalanced, lacking any fruit sweetness.

Oct 3, 2007 Cask gravity at Bedford Beer Festival ’07. Gold with a small white head. Sorry to say this about a local brew, but it’s not very good. Horrid raspberry aroma and a fake sweet fruit taste. Some bitterness may follow, but it’s lost in the kiddies’ sweetie treat.

Jul 28, 2007 Tasting notes from 2002 Harbury beer festival. Pale amber-gold with frothy head. Notes of apricots, berries, and malt aromas. Fruity apricot and sweet malt flavours. Hoppy, bitter finish.

Jun 22, 2007 Cask, White Horse, Oxford. Warm copper, dense creamy white foam. Candy fruitiness--raspberries, rhubarb. More a tentative fruit sweetness in the flavor, a little hint of dry toast. A bit of chalky bitterness. A little vague, but not bad.
