Flip-top bottle. Opened with spray. Blueberry aroma all over. Tamed with a towel. Dark reddish color with no remaining head. Smells a bit jammy - not like the fresh spray upon opening. Begins quite tart. Near medium body with crisp carbonation. Just had chocolate. They do not go well together. Flavor is bitter blueberry. Likely an acquired taste. I’ll work on that. Finishes dry, bitter, with a sour note.

@ZBF ’12 Huge forrest fruits/blueberries aroma. Pours red with a light pinkish head. Tastes like blueberries, fruits, a touch of sweets but not the amount that I expected(which is nice). The fruity taste keeps in the finish and maybe a bit bitter and sour appeared. Seems like a light beer, good for sunny days!

33cl bottle. Pours a very hazy liquid with a little dirty head. Nose : evidently it has a strong fruit aromas with notes of blueberry, apple, cherry, grapes. Bubblegum and yeast notes. Sip : nose aromas came to life although I am a bit surprised by overall constitution. It’s less sweet than I thought and it has a short finish of strong spices. The fruity part has a sour and almost dry aftertaste. I might enjoy it more if it was more sour , I don’t knowm but there is something funky about this beer.

Bottle @ home shared with Thompson. Hazy ruby red color, big off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Smell lightly malts, sweetness, ’bosbessen’ (= blueberries?) and other sweet dark fruits. Taste sweet, fruits, also lightly bitter hints. Medium carbo, low to medium.

Bottle. Pours Grimace purple with pink head. Nose is fresh blueberry and confectioner’s sugar. Very pleasant. Taste is a big dropoff - lots of metallic notes with old dry cardboard and stale hardened blueberries. Medium body.

Bottle (33 cl) at The White Horse, London august 2011. Red, sparkling, small headed. Blueberry aroma and taste.

Bottle 33cl, a reddish beer with pink head, nose is very nice on blueberry. Aroma is again, as for the blond one, destroyed by an horrible vomit like hops, what a shame, hash bitterness, overriped fruit, disgusting, sour, acid, oxidated like, very very dry why ?
