rauchbier (2874), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England Dec 27, 2007 Tap, at ZBF 2006. Deep purple, almost black, good lasting pale purple head and low condition. Solid lingering fruity nose with hints of blueberry and brambles, soft and sweet in the mouth with some gentle grainy maltiness but blackberry fruitiness is dominant, low sweet blackcurrant in the finish with some earthy skin and fruit seed notes lingering.
TBone (5116), Pori, Finland Jan 29, 2007 Hand bottled
Dark cherry red color, small red head. Strong fruity rasberry aroma. Thin aromatic rasberry and blueberry flavor, grassy hops. Harsh rasberry fruity aftertaste. Quite simple fruit beer but without artifical feeling. sayravai (3186), Helsinki, Finland Jan 29, 2007 (Hand-bottled, the only one in One Pint’s Belgian week 2007) Very hazy blueberry-red color with a small head and some lace. Really fresh and quite natural, slightly sweet blueberry aroma. Neutral, very (blue)berryish flavor with some ashy raspberry stones, and some interesting melon fruitiness. A very fresh and pleasant fruit beer, but quite expensive at 50 eur/2 liters (well, in Finland). Jeppe (2636), Ølbutikken, Denmark Oct 2, 2006 Sampled from draught at Zythos Beer Festival 2006. Deep deep red almost black colored, fine red head. Mild berry aroma, nice and natural with a hint on medicine. Very fruity flavor mostly blueberry and actually not much else in there. A true fruitbeer, really refreshing. Engelsmann (653), Copenhagen, Denmark Aug 23, 2006 Draught at ZBF 06. Pours an unclear dark blueish red, with a small purple head. Aroma is fruity, well blueberries actually, and so is the taste.
