A wonderful straw coloured beer with a light hoppy aroma and a distinct blueberry aftertaste. A multi award winner across the country.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 11/10/2018. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Dominated by a sweet and synthetic blueberry character, that was really off-putting. No thanks.

Cask at the standing order. Pours clear golden, nose is blueberry, lime, sherbert, taste is sweet fruit, toffee, sherbert. A little artificial but not bad.

Looks like a classic pint of bitter, perhaps a touch more golden. Blueberry dominates the smell, quite hefty on the flavour too but it's dry and hoppy enough to not be sickly. I wont lie, it's better than I expected by some way. Manages to be distinctive without having that big a flavour, no aftertaste nasties while still doing its gimmick justice. Good work.

Pint on tap at The Deansgate, Manchester. Amber beer with thin white head, no carbonation. Patchy lacing. Nose is blueberry, no surprise there! Light body, fruity but no hops or malt really evident. Not very integrated.

Nice one. It really tasted blueberry. Also mellow blueberry in the aroma. Decent sweetness. Hazed golden color with a fine white head. Good lacing.

Cask: Minimal off white head soon left a skim on a very light golden body. Sweet floral aroma with loads of blackberry. Medium body, oily, smooth & dry on the aft. Floral, sweet black fruits & berries tastes.

500ml bottle from Booths, Penwortham. Pours clear pale gold with a thick white head. Aromas of blueberry, saccharine. Taste is more blueberry, something chalky like their skins. Light sweet finish. Does what it says on the tin.

Pours a clear pale gold with a loose white head that quickly became a scummy film. A distinct blueberry aroma, slightly floral. A sweet blueberry bubblegum taste. A bit watery and not much in the finish.

Clear yellow. Very floral and slightly herbal aroma. Flavour is sweet. Bit like chewing gum.
