Belhaven Blueberry (Bottle)

Brewed by Belhaven (Greene King)
Style: Bitter
Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland

Bottle. Pours a clear bubbly yellow with an average size foamy white head. Aroma is yeasty along with blueberries, U.K. hops, some grain, spices and sugar -- I felt it smelled a little artificial and that turned me off slightly. Flavour’s much better in my opinion, tastes like a crisp and clean Pilsener with fresh blueberries -- just as it’s described. Decent body, it’s a little light but you expect that for this kind of beer. Not bad at all for a summer patio beer or as a thirst quencher after mowing the lawn.

Aroma:full of blueberry aroma... Appearance:Very clear yellow,good white foam head... Flavor:light blueberry flavor,watery....

Strong blueberry aroma immediately evident, but poured yellow with white head (disappointing, I was hoping to see a bluish hue). Blueberry taste is so strong that it overpowers the actual beer flavour. Try a McAuslan Apricot or KLB Raspberry for better examples of fruit beers.

A syrupy blueberry notes, little fan of fruit, this confirms it. Blue berries? why bother.

Bouteille de 1/2 litre. Couleur jaune pipi, petit collet. Arome de muffin au bleuet. Goût sucré bizzard de malte mal mélangé avec les bleuets.

Candied fruit nose, some malt, light amber, small quickly disappearing white head. Stale malt taste, and bad quality fruit candy. Sweet and grainy. Are You f...ing kidding me?! This brewery makes some good beer and this is shite the LCBO pawn off on us?

Pours clear, pale gold w/ a large white head that quickly dissipates. Sweet, blueberry jam aroma w/ biscuity malt, woody hops & mineral notes in the background. Light, highly carbonated feel. Flavour shows blueberry over a woody, metallic bitterness. An odd confluence of flavours that really doesn’t work.

500ml brown bottle. Pours golden, holds a small white head. Instantly recongnizable bluberry aroma, very sweet and perfumy. Flavours of light grainy malt beneath blueberries, some light hops, drying earthy finish with some mineral water notes. Very light bodied, and lightly carboonated.
