From tap at Sunset Grill. Pours cloudy yellow with a fully gone head. Aroma is citrusy and slight berry fruity. Citric, berry fruity and mild acidic. Fruity and mild acidic finish.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours yellow with a slight haze and a white haze. Sweet and very perfumy berry-like nose. Medium body, dry fruit accents, again berries. Finishes dry with no bitterness though. 130810

Bottled@The 2nd ES/CS Beer Tasting. (thanks J.S.!). Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is wheat, citrus fruits, berries, some crisp maltyness as well as mild floral hops. Flavour is wheat, a bunch of berries, some mild maltyness as well as some toffeeish notes.

Bottle, 4.0%. Mild berry aroma, blueberry, I guess, probably also something else. Almost clear yellow colour. Almost no head. The flavour starts off with a good berry flavour. It fades away a bit, though. Not bad for a fruit wheat beer. Thin mouthfeel and slightly watery aftertaste.

(22oz bottle) Pours a clear yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of fruit loops (or other sugar fruit flavored cereal), wheat, and light citrus. Flavor of strawberries, other berries, wheat, and light honey. I assume they threw in an acai blend with other fruits, as it appears there is more than acai for the fruit flavoring.

bottle at Jens from my 60 bottle GBBF 2010 haul ... pink amber ... odd artificial berry nose ... soft berry fruits ... over fizzy ... very plain and one dimensional

Cloudy pale straw. Faint acai nose with doughy malts. Faint fruity taste. A throwback to the lame fruit beers of the mid-90s.

Bottle, 12oz, thx to fonefan. A clear, yellow-ish golden beer wtih an off-white head. Mango-like, berryish nose with some caramel-like maltyness. Quite fruity, but lacking on bitterness. Medium body. Decent, but rather uninteresting, lacking on bitterness. 100813
