Kingston Framboise Royale

On tap at the BP- This one was brought to me a hazy clouded golden white. (Is golden white a colour? My notes are getting sketchy at this point anyway) The nose shows off tahiti treat and watermelon juice with sweedish berries and a floral component that seems mis placed. The flavour is over the top sweet raspberry with no real fruit juice flavours, just artificial syrups. Tastes like really sweet soda and the finish is prickly. Wow, worse than the pils. Bleargh!

Draught. At the brewpub. Flat-looking wan gold with not much white head. Yeesh, that aroma - like a candy store full of fake-fruit hard candy - pixie stix mixed with flower pollen mixed with cream soda; I hate cream soda. Taste - bleah! - cheap sugar and fake fruit with lysol and dead weeds mixed in. Watery, stingingly carbonated, with a long boozy harshly sweet ugly aftertaste - ugliness in a glass and I suggest avoiding this one.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours yellow with a small diminishing white head. Very sweet aroma, reminds me of the Lik-m-Aid candy mixed with Cream Soda and Swedish berries -- and not in a good way, yikes. Tastes more like a soft drink then a beer, in fact it’s kind of carbonated like one as well. Like a cheap alco-pop-cooler type of beverage. Not good.

On tap at the brewpub. Light yellow, small white head, lots of bubbles. Aroma is of Swedish berries mixed with some sort of bathroom cleaner - ok I suppose but terribly artificial. Taste is almost undrinkable - artificial fizzy fruit, light malt base. Awful, there is not anything I can say good about the taste, I could not finish my half pint. Truly awful, likely their worst beer.

Draught at the brewpub. Golden with a small white head. Aroma of Swedish berries - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_berries if you don’t know what I’m talking about - and cream soda. Thin body. Flavour of very fake raspberry with a mediocre beer behind it, and a lingering cloying fake berry sweetness. Oh, I don’t like this at all...
