Bottled. Hazy orange colour with mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity and lots of berries as well (strawberries and raspberries are the strongest). Flavour is quite much the same. Not that exciting.

Bottle 10 C; Scotland Lovely fruity flavors (raspberry, strawberrys, blackberrys etc) Brewed according to Germans traditions? Anyhow the beer also have a maltyness that is distinct.

Bottle, March 2007. Hazy orange colour. Very prominent fruit aroma - mainly strawberry. A bit artificial. Soft and sweetish on the palate. More fruit. Quite palatable but rather insubstantial.

(bottle) Clear, amber colour with a mid-sized beige foamy head. Sweet and moderately malty nose with distinctive fruity notes of red berries, strawberries and raspberries, leaving not much space for something else. Amabile flavour, light bodied with a soft carbonation. Slim malt-character with slightly marmalade-like fruity notes; slim and fruit-accented finish. Might be refreshing in the summer, not my cup of tea (14.VII.09).

Bottled(500ml). -at Kaledonia Budapest. Dark orange coloured, small white head that disappeared fast, fruity berries nose. Weak blackberries and raspberries taste with surprisingly touch of hops in the finish. Watery palate, quite unbalanced beer.

Clear golden body with a minimal white head. Chemical fruity aroma and flavor of straw/black/cranberry bubblegum. I was dissapointed in this beer, absolutely wrong way of development....

Bottle (500ml). Poured light amber with an averaged sized, foamy, off-white head which was mostly lasting. Aroma was of boiled raspberry sweets with cranberry juice, candy sugar and blackberries. Flavor was very unbalanced with a less than expected fruitiness; sweet caramel malts, mild bitterness, slight nuttiness, light notes of raspberry, hints of black currents and an almost grainy finish. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation, a dry mouthfeel, somewhat watery texture and an average length finish. Seemed like a 50/50 blend of a sweet/nutty ESB and a dull/bland fruit beer.
