33 cL bottle, thanks to MiP. Pours slight hazy orange with a white head. Raspberry aroma, slight acidic and sweet. Flavour is raspberry and slight acidic flavour with a dry malt base. Ends with a light acidity into the finish with a light lingering berry note.

Bottled. Nice pale amber colour with huge fluffy white head. Leaves good lace. Aroma is a lot of red berries, especially red currant. Some raspberries also. Flavour is berries, fruits, some earth and sourness. Quite dull and mouldy aftertaste. I’m not a big fan of this one.

Bottle at home. Cloudy orange pink cvoloured with a huge but fast disappearing white head. Fruity aroma dominated by raspberries. Perfumed and fruity flavour of raspberries and wheat with notes of dish washer and hops. Berryish finish. Light watery.

Bottle, 6%. Raspberry aroma. Moldy raspberry flavour. No fruit added according to label. Dark golden colour. Small white head. Watery with unpleasant bitterness.

Bottled (BB 04/2009)
