Oct 2006: Found this bottle the morning after a Bavarian evening I hosted, someone obviously got lost in the beer shop, or couldn’t be arsed to find any German beer (as the invite insisted on). Looked OK in a Belgian ’Verboden Vrucht’ glass, as I thought that would be fair to the beer. Amber colour with a good soild head, almost white. Sadly, it left the scene fairly swiftly, to leave a swisp of remains stuck to the side of the glass, joined by a few remaining strings of white. Blackberry, Blackcurrent and Raspberries hit me straight away, but like the head, didn’t seem to stay to long, which was a shame, because I was begining to think this might be a great beer. The taste also changed mid-beer, all fruits at first, with lemon taking over towards the end of the pint. No great mouthfeel, taking on the Belgians with an ABV of only 4.6% for a fruit beer was very brave, unfortunately they were not brave enough in my opinion and have failed big time. Nothing wrong with this beer, it just didn’t ’do it’ for me.

It has a pale copper colour with small white head. Aroma of malts and berries. Slightly bitter finish and refreshing aftertaste. Medium-to-full body.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Rich flavour. Dry palate. Complex array of fruits - raspberry, blackberry, strawberry and blackcurrant. Not bad.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour with mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity and lots of berries as well (strawberries and raspberries are the strongest). Flavour is quite much the same. Not that exciting.

Bottle 10 C; Scotland Lovely fruity flavors (raspberry, strawberrys, blackberrys etc) Brewed according to Germans traditions? Anyhow the beer also have a maltyness that is distinct.

(bottle) Clear, amber colour with a mid-sized beige foamy head. Sweet and moderately malty nose with distinctive fruity notes of red berries, strawberries and raspberries, leaving not much space for something else. Amabile flavour, light bodied with a soft carbonation. Slim malt-character with slightly marmalade-like fruity notes; slim and fruit-accented finish. Might be refreshing in the summer, not my cup of tea (14.VII.09).

Bottled(500ml). -at Kaledonia Budapest. Dark orange coloured, small white head that disappeared fast, fruity berries nose. Weak blackberries and raspberries taste with surprisingly touch of hops in the finish. Watery palate, quite unbalanced beer.

Cask at GBBF08. Hazy copper colour. Small white head. The flavour has some fruit at first, mostly berries, raspberry. Like watered down fruit juice. Quite drinkable, with a watery finish.

Bottle: Poured a high carbonated brown with a off white color head. Aroma is highly fruit berries. Taste is light fruit with some bitterness.
