Bottle that Dad shared- cheers. Now, I’d had a blueberry beer before- St Judes Blue Punch- which to this day remains one of the worst UK beers I’ve had. In addition, blueberries are far from beng my favourite fruit. With that in mind, I approached this beer with some trepidation. Deep amber with a thin cream head. Potent and rather unpleasant smell when the bottle eas opened, with soapy hints. I was a little concerned. However, on drinking it was fortunately much nicer than it smelled. It’s very fruity, with blueberries to the fore but not overpowering the sweet malts behind. A little dryness in the finish offers a reasonable balance. Y’know what? This isn’t half as bad as I feared. Certainly better than the ghastly St Judes effort. It’s actually quite drinkable.
