Appearance: Slightly hazy dark golden color with a massive and persistent, somewhat coarse snow-white head, with excellent retention.
Aroma: Very sweet cider-like aroma, with pronounced notes of strawberries, blackberries and raspberries, particularly the last. There is a subdued note of bready wheat malt, but that is all.
Taste: The opening of the taste is not as dramatic as the aroma, there is a flush of dry raspberry flavor, with a bit of tanginess. The blackberry is also notable, while the strawberry is more subtle. The finish is dry, with the raspberry most prominent and the rest restrained. Lastly, there is a it of bready malt at the finish.
Mouth feel: Soft and fairly full, with somewhat sharp carbonation, bit like carbonated water.
Drinkability/notes: A quite pleasant summer selection and a nice alternative to ciders and "alcopops".
Presentation: Packaged in a standard twelve-ounce aluminum can, served in a La Fin du Monde tulip. The "canned on: " date seems to be "10/10/22". This was purchased on 07/16/2023, and reviewed on the same day. I can discern no flaws relating to its age since itt was packaged.

From a 12 oz. can dated 10/10/22. Sampled Feb 4, 2023.
I am pleased that the appearance was not red or pink like some fruity beers. This one looked like a beer with its cloudy golden-amber color underneath a massive white head.
The aroma is all about the raspberry, strawberry, and blueberry esters mingling and teasing the nose. Vague bready or wheat character under that but the fruit is front and center.
The mouthfeel is light to medium.
The taste has a little more sweet breadiness but the fruit characters erupt and overtake the entire drinking experience. Probably that was the point but this is a style that I tend to avoid.

Look: Watery, slightly hazy yellowish orange.
Smell: Mixed berries.
Taste: Moderate mixed berry flavor. No "beer" flavor to speak of from the base.
Feel: Low-Medium body with a soft mouthfeel and very light on the carbonation.
Overall: Plenty of berry presence but the beer base is practically non-existent. I found myself disappointed by the one-dimensionality of this beer.
