355ml can, the result of the 2016 International Women's Collaboration Brew Day, where female brewers get together to create a beer, with some of the sales proceeds going to further their brewsters in arms in the craft beer industry - here, it's the Pink Boots Society.

This beer pours a hazy, dark salmon amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, very finely foamy, and essentially creamy pale pink head, which leaves some chunky coral reef lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.

It smells of subtle black currant flesh, real Turkish Delight (not Big Turk, as good as that stuff is on its own), grainy wheat malt, hard water, a touch of earthy funk, some middling lemon tartness, and very gentle leafy and floral hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale and wheat malt, some muddled dark berry fruitiness, estery red florals, mineral springs water (more salty than sulphuric), a plain lemony edginess, and some consistently minor weedy and leafy green hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite active in its probing and well-structured frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and actually rather smooth, the fine bubbles alighting across my tongue like 'twas no big thing. It finishes off-dry, the increasingly muted fruitiness still the most appealing thing at last call, it would appear.

Overall, a pretty enjoyable and engaging version of the style, with the guest black currants really rounding things out, and rendering this, as pictorially suggested on the label, an ideal summertime outdoor quaffer. Good stuff, people.

355ml can poured into tulip 13/5/16

A milky pink liquid with enough clarity to see bubbles streaming up the side, a thumbs width of light pink foam has decent retention leaving some random spots, love the color of this one

S rose water, mineral water, black current there but not as strong as you'd guess from the color they left behind, smells solid but I'd like to see the intensity pumped up

T minerals and faint salt with a little more fruit then the nose, again its simple but I like it

M very light, fluffy, and refreshing, finishes fairly clean with just a little earthy fruit

O this ones stupid easy to smash back, my glass is empty at this point typing, I could slaughter these on a hot patio

Not overly complex but a simple Summer smasher, I could drink a jug of this stuff on a hot patio before the server came back to take my food order
