| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 7, 2007 Pours a transparent dark mahogany ruby with a fairly full, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet fructose and berries with a touch of caramel malt and grapefruity hops. Body starts with good viscosity and fresh, semi-sweet and tart berry flavor. Has some nice bready Belgian yeasty notes toward a sweet, fruity finish that hides the alcohol quite well. A good fruit beer. BrewDad (2366), Olympia, Washington, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 6, 2007 Updated: Aug 8, 2007Intresting flavor. Thought this was going to be an over the top fruit beer but I was actually dissapointed with the flavor. It felt weak and unflavorful and just bland. Nothing special and the beer was just flat in the overall taste. Not bad but it was a lighter beer than 10%. pantani (1896), Salinas, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 6, 2007 Color is a light brown hue, with a thin white head. Nice blueberry and blacberry hints in the aroma, light caramel. Taste is blueberry, caramel, and some alcohol. Overall pretty easy drinking for a 10% brew. RAYBOY01 (1828), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 5, 2007 I did not find this beer particularly heavily fruity...the berries stay in the background pretty well...so does the alcohol...It was sweet but not cloyingly so. Overall a decent summer refresher. ChristianScheffel (4481), Odense, Denmark
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 3, 2007 Copper red with a small, but lasting white head. Aroma completely dominated by berries. Sweet berry flavour, all in all a very one-dimensional beer. brigg (216), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 1, 2007 (bottle) Clear orange-amber body with very little off-white head. Sweet, fruity berry aroma. Flavor is very sweet. The blueberries and blackberries are there, maybe some apple. Strong alcohol flavor, as well, particularly in the finish, but it remains fairly smooth. Medium to full bodied.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 31, 2007 Amber colored with beer with a very small slight white head. A tiny bit of raspberry in the aroma and not much else. This beer is basically just a big malt forward beer with a bit of berry in the background. Easy to drink and buzz inducing.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 28, 2007 Pours a translucent purplish red with a blackberry aroma. The flavor is "all fruit all the time," and yet the fruit isn’t too intense -- it’s nicely crisp, and the alcohol makes its presence felt. It has a sour, bitter-crisp finish. For me fruit beers are a not a staple, but a great change of pace, and in that context this is recommended.
