Bottle from Tesco Metro, Manchester Piccadilly. As you’d expect it has a fine blueberry aroma to savour. There’s plenty of the fruit in its taste too. Has a golden body but no head.

Pale golden almost straw colour. Fruit aroma, obviously but also: leather? Paint? Something different. Taste: fruit is superimposed on rather than blended with traditional ale taste. Still pleasant if a tiny bit saccharin. Good enough beer but not spectacular. Full marks for trying.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Slightly hazy amber with a thin white head; blueberry aroma with some grain in the background; fresh fruity blueberry flavour but rather sweet, and more like a cordial than fresh fruit; the drier to finish with some tarter, lasting, fruit. Interesting and refreshing.

Cask at Ealing beer festival 2013, London. A golden coloured pour with a thin white head on top. Malty, blueberry aroma. Tastes of blueberries, slightly malty, slight sweetness. Quite pleasant.

Clear pale gold beer. Tiny white head. Fresh blueberry nose. Light palate, a little soft and a little dry. Fresh blueberry well integrated with creamy malt. Starts like a fruit beer, back end is like a bitter. Finishes semi soft and semi dry with more fresh blueberry. Not bad at all.

Nov 2010: Brown 500ml bottle, poured into an Abbot Ale tankard. The beer is a pale golden colour, dull rather than bright, the head was thin and white, but that might be because I poured the beer very slowly and didn’t allow any head to really form. The label claims they have used Blueberries and natural Blueberry flavourings and they can certainly be found in the smell and the taste. The label doesn’t lie! The taste is slightly sweeter than the smell, but not sickly sweet considering the ingrediants I suppose. The 5.0% ABV sits well within the brew and although it isn’t a beer I’d rush out and buy a crate of, I can see some people loving it.

Cask@GBBF2011. Golden colour with a small white fluffy head. Aroma is fruits, berries, wood and mild sweet maltyness as well. Flavour is berries, quite sweet malts as well as some resiny and wooden notes. A bit watery palate.

Cask at GBBF 2011. It pours straw yellow, with a thick, fluffy white head. The nose is dominated by sweet ripe blueberry, as well as: farmyard, green apple and sulphur. The taste is very sweet, ripe blueberry, hay, grass and bubblegum, with dryness in the finish. Body is thin and carbonation is low. Far too sweet and one-dimensional to enjoy.
