50cl bottle from Sainsbury. Not surprisingly, I prefer the cask version. This is just so unrelated and non-integrated I can’t believe it. Fruits of the forest with some wondering minstrel of a beer passing it by. I wouldn’t mind having this as a mouth wash at the dentist. Some vanilla, some hop on end. But fruit flavours go wandering about by themselves with no malt base to attach themselves too. Fruit/vanilla concoction is nice, but overall, I really would prefer to gargle with it than have to drink it.

Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, as "Belhaven Classic Fruit Beer". Dark amber colour. Strong fruity aroma of blackcurrants, blackberries, boysenberries and maybe some redcurrants too. Flavour is extremely fruity, raspberry, blackberries and redcurrants abound. A tolerable maltiness and a decent hoppy finish makes this an above-average ale. From the ratings of the pasteurized and bottled version it seems apparent that the cask version is superior.

(Bottle 50 cl) This beer is pink?? Somewhat like Lambrusco...jeezzz... Filtered, not much head. Dry (which is nice) but also bitter(which is not so nice considering the natural sweetness from the fruit - it collides in my subtle opinion). Points for trying but Belhaven should stick to what they do best. 290204

This fruit beer pours a deep orange colour with a short lived head. The aroma is very good. It includes ripe berry juice with a little alcohol scent and some malt. The initial sip is a little watery but nice with its fruit flavours. Raspberry and strawberry are the most dominent. Light on the carbonation side. The finish is thin with a small bitterness to it. The palate is of underripe berry juice and malt. Not Bad.

Bottle: Poured a light brown beer with almost no head and no carbonation. Aroma is composed mostly of weak fruit sweetness. Taste is a mix of English ale malt and some fruit juice; honestly this mix won’t go down in history. I’m not sure I want to seek other product from this brewery after this.

Looks like a standard bitter, the aroma is hopped with a slight hint of raspberry. Watery raspberry flavour with little hops. Overall a very poor fruit beer, as it is hardly a fruit beer more a fruit flavoured bitter.
