3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Shared at home from a 75 cl bottle. Pours a clear pale red with a white billowing head. Fruity aroma. Berries forward with a malty aftertaste.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: MAR 11, 2013 One of my favorite fruit beers (not my fave style), pleasant, non-pungent aroma, clingy on the palate and not overwhelming on the fruit. Packs a punch (pun intended)
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
750 ml bottle @ home. Color is amber with a red hue. Head is as good as non-existant. Aroma’s: sweet fruit (raspberry is evident), some hoppiness too. Retronasal there’s also some alcoholic sweetness. Flavor is medium sweet with hints of fruity tartness and a little bitterness. Rather strong alcohol feel (warms the throat). Medium bodied. Finishes somewhat dry, but the flavor is quickly gone. Worth a try.

color of grape juice. smell of berries is strong with a bready finish. surprisingly strong flavor of alcohol. somewhat reminds me of supplication although not nearly as good.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours deep red with a small white head that recedes very quickly. Nose is very medicinal, cough syrup, some light hints of berries but not a specific enough nose to be able to point it out as blackberry or blueberry. Taste is sweet. A little bitter toward the end to balance but not enough. Slightly tart on the finish. Mouthfeel is crisp and clean. Medium body and a long finish.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From notes: Poured orange-amber with a 3-finger off-white head that contained a slight pinkish tinge. Lots of carbonation bubbles along the glass. Fairly strong aroma of berries with a touch of yeast underneath. Full-bodied, with a bit of a syrupy thickness. Flavor of mixed berry, but almost wine-like. The high alcohol content is pretty well hidden.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a pinkish-amber with a fluffy white head. Very fruity aroma of berries, hint of Belgian yeast. Tastes of blueberries, sweet malt, bit of spice. Good amount of carbonation.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aroma- fresh berries, artificial sweeteners
Appearance- reddish brown, very thin white head
Taste- tartness upfront, blackberries, strawberries, yeast, herbal qualities, more sweetness on backend
Palate- decent body and crisp mouthfeel, somewhat syrupy
Overall- This was the 09’ vintage and was sweeter with more berry flavors IMO. A good beer that I like to have at least once a year when it starts to get colder.

Draft to snifter (from notes). Looks good; not that I’m sure what it should look like, but it had the depth representative of black and blue berries, so it’s gotta be labeled "good" at minimum. The bouquet was also good; the fruit was well-represented. Taste was nice too. The flavors poured through nicely. Mouthfeel was good; definitely a sipper. Overall, a good beer that I’ll definitely have again.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
clear amber pour... tart but not overwhelmingly... hints of blackberry, little bit of sweetness going down... dry, acidic and crisp. pretty refreshing.
