[Sampled in 2003.] Hmmm, what’s this??? Trying to make something fruity belgo-like??? Forget it. Leave it to the belgians!

A pink beer with next to no head. Not a color for a beer. It only has a faint aroma. The flavor is very watery with notes of the berries (hyldebær) - a very light drinkable beer - ending on a slight bitterness. Not really a beer for a beer lover.

It says premium quality on the label, but this fruit beer is absolutely rotten. Things start off well, with a gorgeous ruby/pink look that even permeates the head. The malty nose, with a dash strawberry and cherry, shows far less fruit than one would expect from a berry-infused brew. There’s hardly any fruit on the tongue either; water is the dominant flavour, though the water used could have been acid rain. A very bitter finish, both in flavour and emotion.

What where they thinking... The colour is almost pink, and the taste is like the italian Wine "Lambrusco"
