Bottle from Sainsburys. Its on offer, you’re always going too. Very livley when pouring - I ended up with 60% head in the glass, which dissapates to a scum-ish, peachy-pink foam. Body has a deep crimson colour; ruby transulcent and very nice. Strong aroma of berry fruit and sugar sweetness. The flavour has the right Sour Ale notes; oakish dry woodiness, some sherbert sweetness, but not enough sourness for me. Good mouthfeel - the fruit gives it a silkiness, almost syrupy smooth texture. A solid performer; enjoyable, but lacking star quality.

Deep red, small brief head. Serious raspberry aroma, a slight sour edge. Very sweet but not oppressive body, pleasantly malty, even with some burnt edges. Big fruity component, of course, and seems like real fruit rather than just juice added. Big and bold, and I thought it was rather good.

Jul 16, 2008 Dark read with pink head. Strong notes of artificial raspberries. Flavour is artificial sweet and sweet finish. Would probably work on a hot summerday, but doubt I will ever try!

Jul 12, 2008 0.33l bottle, Newcastle area. Smell is strong raspberries and sour. Taste is raspberries, strong sweet finish without being sickly. Quite enjoyable as a one off, not something I could drink in large ammounts.

Jun 23, 2008 Bottled. Three Judges.
Red colour with pink head.
Loads of raspberries here with bit of oak and very tasty but a bit too sweet. The finish is pretty dry.

May 27, 2008 i’m a sucker for raspberry flavour anything, and this is no exception.. Raspberry alcopop for adults. but you won’t find me complaining......... and by the way, this is actually the best fake tasting framboze ones by far.
