Williams Brothers Roisin (Bottle)

Thank you Jan (Drillings in Nibe) for this nice present! Dark, copper-red color and a slightly pink head. Both the aroma and the flavour has notes of raspberry and blackberry, and it has a nice acidity from the berries and a light sweetness. 1931

Bottle. Deep red colour, generic hoppy nose, intertwined with a hint of berry. Mouth is much more berryish, raspberry, blackberry and perhaps some floral elderberry taste. It lies slightly bitter on the palate, with a certain tannin from the berry. Ok.

Bottle.I dont usually like fruit beers but this was very pleasant. Reddish in colour with a fruitiness that is active without taking over.Rasberry dominates. Left lots of lacing and a pleasing aftertaste.

Bottle (from Bitter Virtue, BB Feb 08). Orangey amber colour. Fruit not initially pronounced on nose - noticeably grassy floral hops. Lightly tart raspberry flavours grow in the mouth and work quite well with the hops. Very little bitterness and indistinct malt leaves this with a short poor finish which is slightly metallic and highlights the artificial carbonation on the next sip. Could be better and suprisingly its not the fruit that lets it down.

Bottle. Amber, foamy off-white head. Artificial wooden berry nose. Metallic base, a few berries and herbs. Thinbodied. nah

An amber beer with an orange head. The aroma very powerful with notes of berries - reminds me of raspberries - but really are tayberries. The flavor is sweet with a cloying artificial berry note, leading to a dry bitter end. If this is what tayberries tastes like, I don’t like them, but since I both like raspberries and blackberries, I’d like to try tayberries fresh and not put in my beer.

Bottled. A dark orange almost blood orange coloured beer with no head. The aroma is fruity, and probably smells like a tayberry, although I’ve never seen or smelt a tayberry so cannot be too sure. The taste is also fruity. Quite grassy and the base beer doesn’t strike me as very exciting or capable or holding decent fruit very well. A tad farty malty. Drinkable and the fruit is interesting, but Williams do a lot better with other beers.

Bottle. Reddish amber beer with a light head. The aroma is light and mainly floral and dry, and the flavour is very dry, watery with a strong element of unrippen fruit. Overall an OK drink.
