jjsint (6133) - Leicester, Leicestershire, ENGLAND - JAN 8, 2022UPDATED: JAN 8, 2022 500ml bottle as part of a delivery from the brewery. We've been saving this one/ Bluish purple, hazy with a quickly dissipating off-white/pinkish head. Sweet berry aroma sits nicely alongside earthy and woody notes and some farmyard funk. Rounded tart taste, red grape and berry flavours with a drying vinous character nearer the finish. Medium to heavy carbonation. This is seriously good.

flying_pig (2680) - IRELAND - JUL 23, 2020UPDATED: JUL 23, 2020 500ml bottle from Fierce brewery website (£7.01):
Raspberry pink & translucent with a thin, white head that was bubbly & pink tinged, settling around the edges as a thin lacing after thirty seconds or so. It was sour on the nose with funky notes, some lemon & berries, I got some raspberry initially with tart & touches of acidity without it being too complex. The taste wasn't quite as sour surprisingly, there was some citrus & raspberry initially but it seemed more mellow & balanced with only a little tart & acidity showing. It was still quite a dry, sharp beer with softer than expected carbonation levels then some juicy, floral flavours to see things out.
