fiulijn (5880), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Aug 3, 2008 Draught at the brewpub Hazy red-amber color. Anonymous beer, with a bitterness from the fruits, no sweetness, no fruity notes (besides some aroma); quite overy bitter at the end, for a fruit beer. Not very good. J_Hunter (165), British Columbia, Canada Jul 26, 2008 pours a red colour with a very sweet aroma and super sweet raspberry taste almost to sweet to enjoy DuffMan (1962), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Jul 19, 2008 Deep red-orange. Natural mashed raspberry and cherry aroma. Generously malty backbone with a nice balanced natural fruit character-- juicy, and not candyish in any way. The booze is very well hidden in this. Really great actually! Enniskillen (1589), Port Angeles, Washington, USA Jul 6, 2008 Amber with an off white head. Aroma is light blackberry, malt, and caramel. Taste seems to be mainly blackberry, and boysenberry rather then raspberry, also has a caramel note but definantly some candy like fruitiness. tiggmtl (4179), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Apr 23, 2008 (Buckerfield’s Berry Ale - Strong Fruit Ale): Aroma is pleasantly tart and full of berries. Underlying doughy, sweet malt character is notable. Clear amber-copper coloured body is topped by a fizzy off white, large bubbled head that recedes very rapidly to a slight ring. Toasty and lightly grainy and sweet malt flavour underscores the tart berry flavours. Tastes almost like a fruity ginger ale and the dry medium-light body and strong fizzy carbonation reinforce that impression. Tulip glass. Just above fridge temperature.
