look: 3 | smell: 2 | taste: 1.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2

500 ml bottle, poured into a long tulip glass.

Clear, golden color, head looks good and has good retention, forms some decent lacing.
Fruity, artificial smell.
Taste is mostly some berry-bubblegum or something like that. Sweet, artificial and unpleasant.
Body is light with decent carbonation.

Overall, very disappointing.

look: 2 | smell: 1.5 | taste: 1.5 | feel: 1.5 | overall: 1.5

Pours gold with a small fading head.
Nose shows overt berry confectionery notes, very artificial in nature. Just smells like lollies really...
Flavours are just as sweet. Very lolly-like. Waaay too sweet. Pure berries. Mainly strawberry.
Feels watery. Needs a lot more carbonation. Then at least it could pass as a alcopop.
Blend some strawberry and blackberry lollies with some sugar syrup and you'd be pretty close to this.

500ml Bottle best before 30 Apr 2013: opened and reviewed on 26 July 2012.

Light amber with next to no head, so could be a typical UK bitter by looks.

However there is an intense sweet fruit aroma and taste; with added barley sugar to make sure you know it's sweet.

Just too sweet for me: I assume it has been produced to try and get into the sweet cider market?

Can't really knock the brew: it claims to be a 'Mixed berry fruit beer'. I would like to see a health and teeth cleaning warning as well because this will rot your teeth.

Clear amber colour with a foamy, pinky sized white head on top that stays pretty well. There is a few bubbles rising to the top but it is far to light looking for the style.

Very fruity on the nose, even for a fruit beer, with tonnes of blackberries and raspberries that naturally overpower the nostrils and make it hard to detect anything else. There is a lot of sugar and a general sweetness but not a great smell really.

Raspberry and blackberry upfront along with sugar and a sweet bitterness but again not great at all.

A light medium body with a lot of carbonation and a very sweet tang that came on a little too strong for my liking. 2.5

Very fruity, even for the style and far too sweet for me with a sort of artificial taste and to be honest not enjoyable in the slightest.
