The base is a classic Belgian white beer brewed with wheat & malted barley. It also contains oats, with a consequent smoothness; it is very aromatic with a clean, zesty fruitiness & a faintly herbal tartness. The body is light but smooth & the flavours are complex, with a light, underlying creamy sweetness. The pure juice of summer berries is blended with this white beer & accounts for 10% of the finished product. The rose colour of the beer comes from the natural juice of the berries. The other special ingredient is a dash of golden ale matured for two years in oak barrels. This mature beer gives the blend an underlying subtle bitterness that 'cuts' the natural sweetness of the fruit sugars & makes the finished drink very refreshing.
