500ml Bottle - Golden with some noticeable pink tones and a white head. Raspberry jelly, malt and vilda bär fanta in the aroma. Sweet taste with more in common with a panda pop than a beer. Notes of artificial raspberry dominate. Rather sickly and more like a soft drink.

500ml bottle (Stockmann, Riga)
4 Sickly sweet childrens sweets, raspberry clearly, dominate the aroma, but fortunately they’re not too repulsive.
2 Pale, tiny head.
4 Mercifully low raspberry essence actually lets the taste of the beer come through. Alas, part of what comes through is burnt plastic in the retronasals. However, the rest of the taste is a simple sweet pale malty lager. Wow - there is actually some beer in this one!
2 Thin palate, sharp carbonation. Sticky finish, mostly the raspberry flavour in the early finish, and just a bit of pale malts too if you concentrate.
7 Too sweet, and I’ve been generous with the points here, but this is so almost drinkable compared with the last too.
