500ml bottle. Pours light gold with a small head. Aroma is summer fruits squash and lemon. Taste is sweet and berries throughout. Quite pleasant, actually.

Served chilled as recommended. Pale gold beer with a reasonable amount of fizz and a thin frothy head that soon reduced to a film and a very sweet aroma. The flavour isn’t as sickly as I was expecting from the smell but there’s something else other than the sweet flavour (perhaps a sourer "fruit" or something else added to it) that isn’t entirely pleasant. Strangely flat on the tongue despite the fizz and not much aftertaste.

Pours gold with a small fading head.Nose shows overt berry confectionery notes, very artificial in nature. Just smells like lollies really...Flavours are just as sweet. Very lolly-like. Waaaaay too sweet. Pure berries. Mainly strawberry.Feels watery. Needs a lot more carbonation. Then at least it could pass as a alcopop.Blend some strawberry and blackberry lollies with some sugar syrup and you’d be pretty close to this.

500ml bottle - golden colour with a half finger white head, soon disappeared though. A really heavy fruit nose. like a black forest gateau, cherries, raspberries, strawberries. First taste is sickly fruit, syrup and a bit chemical. Not that pleasant. Be nice as a scented candle rather than a beer. Now I’ve got two-thirds of a pint to clear...

Bottled (from K Market Kamppi, Helsinki Thanks Lövis!). Golden colour, mediumsized creamy off-white head, that leaves nice lace. Aroma is rather sweet berries (forest strawberries, some wild raspberries as well) and also very strong honeylike and nectary sweetness. Flavour is rather similar, with some mild bitterness as well. Quite balanced and not to sweet in the flavour. Whoa, I like!

Bottle at the White Hart Hotel, Andover. I see that there are lots of unfavourable reviews for this, but I quite liked it. It poured amber with a tight white head, with no visible sign of any fruit,; but the aroma was full of fresh blackberrries; the flavour was refreshing and very fruity with a good balance of sweet and sour against the grains; the fruit becomes sweeter and jammy towards the finish, leaving a lingering impression of scones, jam and vanilla cream. It may rot the teeth, but it left me with a smile on my face.

500ml Bottle best before 30 Apr 2013: opened and reviewed on 26 July 2012. Light amber with next to no head, so could be a typical UK bitter by looks. However there is an intense sweet fruit aroma and taste; with added barley sugar to make sure you know it’s sweet. Just too sweet for me: I assume it has been produced to try and get into the sweet cider market? Can’t really knock the brew: it claims to be a ’Mixed berry fruit beer’. I would like to see a health and teeth cleaning warning as well because this will rot your teeth.
