3.7/5  rDev -7.5%

Served from the can in a Lagunitas mason jar.

Aside from looking like how I picture strawberry juice to look (not sure I've seen that one on any Tesco's shelves, but you never know, I guess), this stuff smells of sweet-and-sour (maybe SweetTart?) cherries and berries. The taste leans decidedly into the tart realm, the cherries also relegated by the berries, and some lemon juice popping in for good measure. A sort of Red Vines situation pervades the aftertase. The body is light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a dry, sticky finish. Pretty nice little berry puree action here.

4.29/5  rDev +7.3%
look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5
Served from a 14.9 oz (441 ml) can into a conical pint glass; no clear production info, but code L2098/99, so use your decoder ring.
A: Pours a rather hazy, rose-violet color with a short-lived, one to two finger, likely pink head, little or no retention beyond a rim and no lacing.
S: Aromas of raspberry, blueberry and blackberry predominate with a clear, distinct hydrogen sulfide note initially that doesn't quite burn off.
T: Semidry and tart. Flavors largely follow the nose without appreciable bitterness.
M: Medium bodied with exuberant carbonation initially, but which is short lived. Drinks very clean and refreshing.
O: An real treat. An extremely well crafted, if simply fruit forward, AWA. I really enjoyed it and would have it again (and again)
