Relatively light in taste and feel for a beer made with real juiced berries AND honey - I detect a little blueberry in the mix, which it is NOT a powerful flavor compliment to the base ale and so has to be accepted as part of the overall effect rather than a distinct feature. Said effect is a light, pleasantly drinkable vaguely fruity ale with a nondescript base ale character and far too much alcohol paying the price for the minimal entertainment. Quality to an extent, but a novelty.

Bottle: Pours a light burgundy with no head. Aroma is sweet alc. and port-like over-ripe fruit. Did I imagine it or was there a bit of flat lager malt aroma under there too? Flavour is tart tannic start, somewhat dry giving way to a wine-cooler sweetness. Not much blueberry and no overpowering syrupy sweetness like the pure mead I’ve tried. The 9% is blended well in the flavour. I will hopefully get to try some of their other flavours as well.

Alcohol and a sweet, fruity nose, but no blueberry, rudy burgundy, no head. Light berry flavour, still no taste of the elusive blueberry. Alcohol is obvious, very sweet indeed. Jeepers!

3 ounce sample shared with family last night- It’s like a purpley-blue if there is such a colour. No head to speak of of course, and it looks like it should be in a shot glass or something. Aroma is mulberries and dark raspberries, but no real blueberry here. Smells like a cooler. Taste is very sweet black raspberries, with lots of fake sugared candy. Whoa, sweeeetness alert. Not my favourite from the trafalgar mead offerings

Pours Pink with a fizzy disappearing head. There’s more blackerry than blueberry here and it’s sticky sweet. Too cloying. This is Mead? I certainly hope not!
