Clear medium yellow orange color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is cassis syrup, cassis, rubber notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate medicine bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20090719]

Bottle. Yellow, very flat and no head. Blackcurrant flavour dominates as you would expect. Different but certainly not my taste in beer.

Bottle in hotel room in shefield... hazy amber /// odd unpleaent and artificial fruti nose... artificial fruits and bitter.

[RBESG, Sheffield]
Bottle @ Angel, Manchester.
Pours hazy golden with a nice, frothy, white head. Aroma has black currants, light sweetness and a peppery touch. Prickly, lively carbonation, a bit thin. Flavour has sweet black currants and a very distinct peppery note. Not really my thing.

Bottle thanks to rene on the train back from manchester to sheffield. Alround rating: Blackcurrent is key, nutty pale malts, no hops, but the blackcurrent is nice and drinkable.

From bottle on train from Machester Pic to Sheffield. Thanks René! Blonde. Cassis aroma. Soft cassis flavor, a touch medecinal. Really not much else. Just a bit thin and dusty.

RBESG Sheffield, on the train from Manchester to Sheffield. Hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of blue/blackberries. Flavour of cassis, sweetener, grainy bitter finish with a bit of sourness. Light to medium bodied.
