Pours amber with a low head. Aroma is artificial fruits. Flavor is bitter malts with some fruits. Surprisingly decent.

clear mahogany with a white head. Nice and fresh, light and fruity. Very easy.

Home 20110424 (50 cl bottle): A clear beer with golden yello (light orange) clour and a good, thin white head. The aroma is malty. fruit (cherry, strawberry) and some vanille. The taste is some malty, sweetness (caramel) and fruit (cherry, strawberry). In the aftertaste still some seetness and a little hopbitter.

...tükrös borostyán szín, egy ujjnyi vastag, piszkosfehér habtakaróval a tetején. Illata édes, mézes, gyümölcsös. Aromája édeskés, gyümölcsös, melyet némi citrus és kenyér jellegű hatások kísérnek. Édes, picit fanyar íze almát és mézet idéző, melyet egy komlós/fűszeres íz ellensúlyoz. Befejezése gyümölcsösen édes, amely után valamelyest kiszárad a szájpadlás, gyümölcsös utóízt hagyván maga után. Kétségtelenül ható, de minden bizonnyal nem fogok visszatérni erre a főzetre...

Warning! Early amateur rating! Rich flavour. Dry palate. Complex array of fruits - raspberry, blackberry, strawberry and blackcurrant. Not bad.

Bottle. Hazy orange pour with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet caramel, sweet berries like forest fruit and light peach. The flavour is sweet fruity with notes of berries and caramel. Fruity finish.

Bottle - Clear. Redish. Thick off white head. Medium carbonation. A little thin. A subtle berry flavour in the background and a dry finish.

pouring a dark orange, almost red colour with a slightly off-white head and with a nose the reminded me of mixed fruit jam, my favourite, I allowed myself to be cautiously optimistic. Oh dear. The body was horribly thin, yes it tasted like fruit jam, but fruit jam so watered down that I seriously considered pouring it away. It wasn’t truly bad, but neither was it something I will want to drink again.

Bottle from Tesco. Aroma of malts and spices, not really fruit. Light golden brown colour. Dry malty flavour, goes down a bit rough. I don’t really understand how this is a fruit beer. More of a slight spicy average bitter.

Bottle. Clear amber/orange colour with medium creamy white mostly diminishing head. Fruity aroma. Sweet fruity flavor.
