Packed with luscious raspberry flavour and slightly creamy.
Palate
Loads of syrupy raspberries and mostly sweet but with some restraining bitterness and a refreshing tartness.
Finish
Sweet raspberries continue but the finish is drying with the sort of bitterness you get from crushed raspberry seeds.
Comment
Over-the-top fruit flavour, but reasonably drinkable
on the whole. Another beer for the dessert course. The colour of cherryade.

Nose
Raspberries. It seems obvious, but there you go. Not fresh raspberries, but rather raspberry sweets. In fact a particular kind of raspberry flavoured sweet that for the life of me I can't place. A bit dusty, like those pink shrimp.
Palate
Sweet in the middle of your tongue, with a sour attack from the sides.
Finish
Quite sour. With a grainy afterthought to remind you this is a beer.
