“I’m drunk but this smells like raspberry.”
“Ditto.”
“Totally sweet and raspberry but dissatisfying, short aftertaste. A bit of acetone at the end. On the second sip, I’d say there is some black currant in this.”
“Too little carbonation. Tastes dry. I’m drunk too.”

This beer is as fresh as a Tassie mountain stream. Crisp, yet bold with a pleasant aftertaste. My first choice of Australian beers.
