Yellow ith a small white head. Sweet and somewhat chemical blueberry aroma with a hint of malt. Sweet artificial blueberry flavour with caramel

Nov 2010: Brown 500ml bottle, poured into an Abbot Ale tankard. The beer is a pale golden colour, dull rather than bright, the head was thin and white, but that might be because I poured the beer very slowly and didn’t allow any head to really form. The label claims they have used Blueberries and natural Blueberry flavourings and they can certainly be found in the smell and the taste. The label doesn’t lie! The taste is slightly sweeter than the smell, but not sickly sweet considering the ingrediants I suppose. The 5.0% ABV sits well within the brew and although it isn’t a beer I’d rush out and buy a crate of, I can see some people loving it.

On cask at jdw, stoke. Pours golden, strong blueberry nose and flavour. Probably too sweet to have too many. Decent fruit beer ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cask @ Fall Well JDW in Liverpool. I actually loved this! Golden with a thick white head, big nose of blueberry and a sweet blueberry taste, bit of bubblegum and caramel. Very surprised, quite an enjoyable pint but not something you could have more than 4 or 5 of. £1.35 a pint with my CAMRA voucher, bargain.

Cask@GBBF2011. Golden colour with a small white fluffy head. Aroma is fruits, berries, wood and mild sweet maltyness as well. Flavour is berries, quite sweet malts as well as some resiny and wooden notes. A bit watery palate.

From a gravity tap at Northwich Beer Festival 17/09/2011 A reasonable bitter flavoured with blueberry, I found it a little too sweet towards the end of the glass

Cask at GBBF 2011. It pours straw yellow, with a thick, fluffy white head. The nose is dominated by sweet ripe blueberry, as well as: farmyard, green apple and sulphur. The taste is very sweet, ripe blueberry, hay, grass and bubblegum, with dryness in the finish. Body is thin and carbonation is low. Far too sweet and one-dimensional to enjoy.

Cask at GBBF 2011. Pours a pale yellow colour with a small white head. The aroma is all blueberries which totally dominate, with a slight hint of hops. The taste again is all blueberry with some sweet malt, the finish is fruity and dry.

Bottle @ Danish Summer Gathering, 2010. Pours clear golden with a small creamy off white head. Heavy sweet and sharp synthetic blueberry. Watery. Low carbonation.

Bottle 500ml.
