(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear reddish with a lightly pink head. Intense raspberry aroma. Medium body, sweet’n’sour raspberry flavour - again very intense which reveals artificial additives. Finishes dry. 140908

35.5 cL bottle. Pours hazy deep amber/pinkish with a dense pink head. Sweet and candy like raspberry aroma. Flavour too is quite sweet and citric with a quite solid raspberry note so strong it can almost only be artificial - yet it doesnt taste anything else but sweet and as such doesnt give an artificial impression. Sweet and citric finish.

Twickenham Brewery tasting 08. Red, with thin pink/beige head. Bit sweetish. Raspberry, pippy, but utterly drinkable. Bit too sweet mind.

En meget behagelig frugtøl for os, der kan li’ hindbær. Dark red with a pink head. The aroma has notes of raspberries and a natural berry sourness and sweetness. The flavour has sweetness and berry-sourness and nice notes of raspberries with a hint of citrus. A pleasant fruit beer if you like raspberries.

Botella. Clear pit pale amber-red colour with a medium mostly diminishing pinkish head. Malty Raspberry aroma. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has a mild sourness with cherry malt and a pleasant soft sweetness.

A Mes rate: Bottle at the Tom’s awesome Twickenham Brewery tasting.
Red brown with a thick pinkish head. Massively sweet, full on raspberry ripple ice cream and preserve jam. Not enough tartness but still very tasty and drinkable. Lingering sugary jam finish. The sort of beer that many would hate but I can’t help but like.

Bottle, bought @ LIVA, Kolding.
Pours clear red, some bubbles sticking to the insides of my glass. A bubbly pink head on top - that actually stays for a surprising amount of time. Aroma is sweet and fruity, good raspberries and a slight citric tartness behind it. Fine mouthfeel. Flavour is lightly dry, some subdued tartness and a good sweet touch of raspberries. These beers, like the old Melborne are great alternatives/entries to a world of lambic. Good appetizer drinks as well.
