Golden yellow, cloudy because of the wheat beer. A very persistent lacing head.
You discover aromas of mango, apricot, peach and a subtle passion.
Savouring this beer is quite complex, because of the use of various fruits. The predominant taste is peach and apricot.

Hazy golden color. Artificial aroma, fruit candies; the passion fruit is more evident than the others, some peach. Artificial fruity taste, very sweet, with a wrong hopping. The final is disturbing. Children’s drink.

Hazy blonde golden coloured body with a super thin white head. Aroma of bananas, bubble gum, coriander seed, malt, raisins and pineapple. Medium-bodied; Super sweet up front with a majority coco and pineapple taste, with a little malt and more caster sugar rolling through. Aftertaste is very sweet, with some tart acids (ala pineapple) coming around as well. Overall, much better than the Chocolate, but still a little too sweet for a actual fruit beer worth drinking. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased at Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 29-December-2004.

I’m not sure what this even is! But here goes...This ??? pours a light yellow with a short lived white head. I may have caught orange or grapefruit juice in the smell along with lemons and a small amount of malt. First taste was really sweet. Strong flavours of orange juice with lemon added for a sour kick. The palate was still pretty sweet and not very refresh because of that reason. All in all...too sweet for me.

Bottle: Poured a yellowish beer with a nice bubbly head that disappeared a bit too quickly. Aroma is quite stranger with some sweetness from fruit coming out but also some kind of malts. Taste is very sweet with all the fruit coming out at first and then that very weird malt taste hitting you and left me bewildered. Overall, I feel this is not as bad as some of the previous review but again not a world class fruit beer.

A hazy orange beer with a beutiful white head. The aroma is of peach, pineapple, and berries - what is ninkeberries? The flavor is sweet - like a ninkeberry-sodapop. The body is thin and this combined with the high sweetness makes me feel, this is more a soda, than a beer.

Bottled. Pale yellow and lightly hazy. Huge mango and passion aroma. Very sweet and candyish. Like drinking liquid extra sweet winegums. Not exactly unpleasant, but not a beer experience I want to return to too often.

Ninke refers to children's, meaning this is intended as a kid's brew. No shit. Golden, fruity aroma - for some reason I got blueberry and raspberry, but the bottles says mango, apricot, peach, strawberry, passion fruit. Shows what I know. Sweet & sour palate - in a bad way, not unlike the generic sweet & sour sauce that you get from Chinese restaurants in suburban strip malls everywhere. Very candyish finish.
