The aroma is sweet, malty, and yeasty with notes of berries. The color is dark orange and it has a fine but fast disappearing head. The flavor is sweet and dominated by a myriad of berry notes - as if it is a drinkable version of a mixed marmelade - on my tastebuds it doesn't fit that well with a beer. I detect strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries combined with very weak malt notes. There is no bitterness to balance the sweetness from the berries. This beer is more special, than it is good.

(Bottle 50 cl) This beer is pink?? Somewhat like Lambrusco...jeezzz... Filtered, not much head. Dry (which is nice) but also bitter(which is not so nice considering the natural sweetness from the fruit - it collides in my subtle opinion). Points for trying but Belhaven should stick to what they do best. 290204

Århus2008. 50 cL bottle. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Light apple fruity aroma. Flavour is fruity with a subdued malt base, I pick up some hops as well. Light and refreshing and slightly more to offer in the flavour than in the aroma. Light fruity finish with a mild bitterness.

Bottled. Golden coloured. Interesting, strong fruit aroma: strawberries and black currant. Sweet and clean with notes of vanilla. No bitterness in a finish dominated by black currant.

Bottle. Amber red color, ok head. Strong berry aroma. Very fruity flavor, apple, lemon and berries. A little malty and hoppy beer-taste in the background.

Bottle, 4.6% at EBF08. Weak buttery aroma. Clear golden colour. Fruity flavour, a lot like a standard bitter.

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.
