They say nobody wants bruised blackberries or misshapen pears. But we know there's flavour in those flaws. Flavour we can use to make deliciously tangy, refreshingly fruity beer like this - and help tackle food waste at the same time. After all, when it comes to fruit, it's what's on the inside that counts. Remember: taste not waste!

0.33 l bottle from 'AH XL' (Enschede), best before February 2025. Hazy, ruby with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity aroma of blackberry, blackcurrant and light grains. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, quite fruity taste of grains, blackberry and some blackcurrant, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent, soft carbonation. Pleasant beverage, much less fruity tha expected though.

Bottle. Hazy dark purple. Not very fruity up front, there's light yeast, grassy hops, some pear, light dusty. Tastes like a pilsner with a bit of pear and some blackberries for the color. Over light sweet and bitter. Not bad.
