Brewed by Brasseurs RJ
Style: Fruit Beer
Montreal, Canada

Serve in Flute

Deep red/purple in colour with a thick dissipating lacing head. Very impressive for a fruit beer. Smells just like wild blueberries in the field, yum! A little fizzy body and a little thin with a nice blueberry taste and a slightly bitter finish, just like you’d expect from blueberries. This is one of the better blueberry beer I’ve tried.

Slightly cloudy cherry-red body with a small pink head. Leather aroma. Taste of leather, some blueberries, plastic. Very bad. Sweet Madness is its name, utter insanity is its tastes.

Deep cherry in colour, lingering pink coloured head, some lacing. The aroma has large amounts of blueberries, very sweet and fresh, some floral hops. The flavour is a bit syrupy, lots of blueberries, some banana, very sweet. Sticky mouthfeel, light body, medium carbonation. Finishes long, sweet with fresh blueberries. The only downfall is the sweetness.

341ml bottle from the <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/quebec/g target=blank>La Trappe a Fromage in Gatineau, Quebec. Best Before January 2007.

Bottle (341ml). Jesus! Poured deep pink/red with a hint of purple, average fizzy pink/white head. Aroma - nothing like beer, smells like a popsicle, a blueberry/raspberry popsicle - not unpleasant, but not like beer. Taste - sweet yet slightly tart faux blueberry with a hint of light american wheat beer character - clean, lightning-quick off the tongue - very watery, decent carbonation, not even a little bit syrupy or cloying, no alcohol character whatsoever - I enjoyed drinking it, even if it’s pretty much completely unlike *beer*

341 ml bottle. Bottle overflowed when opened. Reddish color. Good carbonation. Some kind of fake blueberry taste. Not bad, dry. ok beer.

Robe bleue. Odeur de bleuet et de fleur d’oranger. Goût de bleuet légèrement savonné. Peu amère. Unidimensionnel.

Bottle: Poured a deep red color ale with a huge bubbly pinkish head with good retention. Aroma of blueberry is recognisable and quite enjoyable even though it may or may not include some syrup. Taste is very refreshing with some definite blueberry taste is there as well as traces of the witbier base (coriander?). I thought this was better then what I had in memory from the last time I drank this beer (5-6 year ago).

Robe rouge très claire aux reflets roses surmontée d’une mousse rose épaisse qui s’estompe. Arômes de bleuets. Saveurs de bleuets et de fruits des champs.
