2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from my local supermarket, finally curiousity got the better of me. Kind of wish it hadn’t. Pinky red with a thin quickly fading pink head. Aroma is sweet cloying raspberryade (if there is such a thing). I used to like cherryade, this, not so much. Flavour is sweet rapsberries. Longish finish.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Tesco, Inverness.
Appearance Reddish raspberry, large bubbly slightly pink head which dissipated to thin layer.
Aroma Lots of raspberry, sweet syrup, no hops, no malt.
Taste Raspberry jam, sweet syrup, no hops, no malt. The raspberry flavour is good.
Palate Very sweet, medium carb, medium body, sticky texture. Finish - rapid with raspberry, bit tangy sour, a bit of the underlying beer comes through faintly.
Overall Very 1-dimensional. Raspberries, sweet, some sourness. The raspberry flavour is good like a high quality jam. Posh alcopops, perhaps? It’s hard to rate the taste here...OK the raspberries get 7/10....as a beer..well there isn’t a beer taste here at all..so it gets 12/20 overall
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle (375ml):
Not as strong smelling as some other fruit beers that I have tried in the past, there is raspberries with a bit of sourness at the end but little else.
Raspberry red colour with a thumb sized, pinkish white bubbly head that settles to a thin, soapy lacing after about a minute.
Very sweet raspberry taste hits you initially with the odd taste of cherry as well. There is little evidence of beer here as it is hidden by the raspberry juice and sweet sugars. The finish is sour & bitter.
Light bodied and fairly well carbonated with a crisp finish and a nice sour aftertaste.
Not really like a beer at all, it’s more like a carbonated raspberry juice with a sour finish. It is a nice enough drink but it’s just not enough like a beer for me & it was rather overpriced.
