Aroma: Not suprisingly, a very blueberry aroma. No malt or hops to balance out the aroma of fake blueberry gum Appearance: Straw blonde tight bead long lasting fluffy head. Nice belgian lace. Flavour: Some dry pilsnermalt quality but screams bluberry flavouring. No hop flavour or bitterness, cidery, finishes very dry whch helps subsume some of the "blueberriness" of the beer Mouthfeel: Medium light very carbonated. Overall: This beer has never been within 1000 yards of a real berry - The flavour lends more towards cider than beer. There is however nice balance between the strong sweet berry flavour and the dry finish. I couldn’t drink more than half of the pint bottle.

A golden ale with a thin white head. Strong blueberry aroma as bottle is opened, with a malty backbone and light metallic notes. In mouth, a light sweet malt with light blueberry juice, lighter bodied blueberry jucie. Light bodied. Tasted late Dec. 2006.

<i>500ml Bottle</i>: Pours very light yellow, almost like a non-cloudy Hoegaarden, with almost no head to be had. The aroma is strong in astringent blueberries, and oddly, alcohol. That shouldn’t be the case for a 4.8%, no? Flavour is heavy in blueberry, but it just seems off. Very sour, almost an instant headache and I can still garner a lot of booze from it. Very carbonated, lacking in hops.. not my thing at all.

500ml bottle. Pours a deep gold color, loads of carbonation. Aroma smack of artifical blueberry. Flavour is big time artificiala, dn slightly salty? I don’t know, every time i have a blueberry beer, i get this salty artificial taste. weird.

Very pale with some head. Very strong blueberry scent. Odd tast, much more blueberry scent then taste. Some bitterness in the tast I am not fond of. Much more beer then berry.
