1.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20Cloudy and pale with almost no carbonation or head. Looks slightly like apple juice. Very tart fruit to the nose. Tastes like a cheap mass produced lager, horrible.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Very thin on flavour and body. Still very refreshing with a nice natural carbonation.

0.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
330ml bottle. Pours a cloudy pink-tinged beige, with a small white head, which fades rapidly and leaves no lacing. The aroma certainly suggests the presence of raspberry and rhubarb jam: it is overly sweet, with strong rhubarb and slightly fainter raspberry dominating. Very faint nondescript hops up front are followed by sweet raspberry. This gives way to a horrific combination of rhubarb and cardboard malt, which leads into a sickly sweet boozy finish, reminiscent of cheap, terrible quality lager. So, to sum up this looks like diseased urine, smells like breakfast spread and tastes like a mixture of rhubarb and Satan’s own batch of Budweiser. Thus, it really begs the question: what the hell were they thinking when they came up with the idea for this? The worst beer I have had in a very, very long time.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
UPDATED: NOV 19, 2012 Poured a cloudy light peach colour (a "yuk!" factor) with a thin white bubbly head that diminished quickly and left no lacing. Lots of yeast floaters (another "yuk!" factor) that settled out and this detracted from the beer’s appearance. Aroma strongly of sour malt. Taste initally bland followed by a slight bitterness. Light body, bordering on watery.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Very pale white nectarine colour. A lot of floaties. Unique appearance.
No head. Strong lemon on the nose. Hints of brown sugar and apple, very perfumey.
Malt backbone, sour, almost a bit of mint or toothpaste on the finish. Silty mouthfeel.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
From a 330ml bottle on 21/2/2012. Pours a cloudy white with a small head. Has a raspberry cordial aroma. The flavour is just weird - more hints of weak raspberry cordial and some tart lemon notes, but little else. The body is thin and quite watery. Doesn’t really work on any level. Very disappointing given that stuff from Red Duck is usually pretty good.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
330ml bottle. Pours very pale with a faint pink tinge and a skinny head that vanishes as you watch it. Some fruitiness in the aroma but it remains well hidden. Very dry tart flavour with a bit of a zing on the palate.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Muddy peachy pink in colour. Raspberry, citrus aroma. There is a sweetness like jelly beans then sourness that keeps going around and around. Has similar dry chalkiness in the finish as the Burton ESB. Strange and not to liking.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
As others have noted this beer does lack some ’beer’ character however I think its actually interesting. Kinda like a blend b/w a Belgian white and a lambic; raspberry and white chocolate combines well with tart stone fruits. The intensity is a bit light but points for interest.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Straw coloured body with poor head. Wheat notes in the taste with some rhubarb aroma is similar. Drinkable, different but could be so much better.
