Commercial Description:
Blue Marlin has been swimming in our market since 1990. Released as a strong beer with a 6% alcohol content, Blue Marlin was rapidly caught and became a very familiar brand to Mauritians and consumers overseas.

Bottle. Golden and clear with a gentle maltiness. A bit thin but still quite pleasant.I am surprised that others haven’t though much of this one as I was quite impressed.

Bottle. Golden beer with a strong bubbly head. The aroma is nicely pilsner like, and the flavour is pilsner dry, slightly fruity and white wine. Overall a good palatable beer.

a decent helles bock sort of thing. butter, prunes, dms, malt in aroma, all of above on palate plus a bit of warming alcohol, and faint bitterness. smooth and with a reasonable amount of flavour, not a bad effort.

Thanks to motelpogo's friends for getting married and going to Mauritius for their honeymoon. There is a real feel of 6 degrees of separation type stuff when you think of the linkages that allow you to taste a beer from another country. Well this presents like a typical lager, clean and crisp. There is a hint of the popcorn stand at the movies but is muted anough to be acceptable. The ABV is noted even though a bit thin in mouthfeel, more in the warming qualities than the big billowy fullness of some. Actually it is getting to be an occupational hazard these days when one regards a beer of 6% to be a bit of a lightweight. Good bitterness going down and overall if asked I would ask for more than lessitian.

Bottle. Pale gold colour with a slim white head. Malt in the aroma. Quite clean and crisp. Light bitter finish. Bit of a thin mouthfeel with detectable alcohol. Better than I was expecting.
