Sint Jozef Bosbier

Brewed by Brouwerij Sint Jozef
Style: Fruit Beer
Opitter-Bree, Belgium

Clear taste of bleuberries, but there’s a really nasty aftertaste, which is also noticable in the aroma. Not my favorite fruit beer.

Clear dark red with medium pinkish head. Sweet aroma with barnyard notes. Sweet flavour with ripe natural black currant notes.

Bottle @ Take One. Deep red to purple colour, pink head. Aroma of blueberry, cassis. Flavour is the same, really sweet, with a hint of sourness. More like a soda.

25cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, easy to drink fruit brew, not complex, balanced, clear, good head, nothing special

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Very deep red colour. Thin pink head. Sweetish blueberry aroma. Definitely pick the fruit on the aroma as blueberries. It’s alright. Not as good as the Bon Secours one not as complex and this is too obviously fruity syrupy. Fades a bit, and becomes sweet, thin and a bit annoying.

25 cl bottle, bought in Oostende. Abv is 4,5%. Deep red color, light pink head. Aroma is sweet berries. Flavor is sweet with berries. Dry and sweet blueberry-finish. I kind of like it, but all in all it is too sweet.

25 cL bottle, 4.5%, one of my first Belgian beers ever if I recall right - rerate 2008. Pours unclear deep purple in beer flavour and purple lacing white head. Solid blueberry aroma, slight earthy and mild spiced. Sweet blueberry flavour - lending towards a slight strawberry like note. Mild finish with a mild sweetness and continued blueberry fruity note.

Darkred coloured beer with small reddish coloured head. Fruity aroma, like wild berries. Finish is balanced fruity.
