Not just the domain of the Belgians, we Scots have combined another two things we're great at - beer and soft fruits. Not too sweet though, for its great fruity addition, it's got just the right balance of fruit and bitterness. A perfect beer for summer days (raining or otherwise).

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7
bottled from the LCBO...poured a gold-amber with a rocky 1 finger off white head...stays a while then laces nicely. Aromas of black rasperry, currant, a touch of strawberry (they somehow seem artificial..too perfume-like) over a malt sweetness. The start is sweet punctuated by the berry tastes...light body...sweet crusty malts come in and overpower the fruits which hang in the background as some hops kick in...nice ride...finish is a tad cloying but tolerable with the signature belhaven malts and the currants leaving an after taste....My impression is this is Belahven’s scottish ale (an excellent tap brew) flavored with some berry extracts...but just enough to make it interesting....not a bad topical but too "girly" for an ale drinker to buy more than one for a try.

Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, as "Belhaven Classic Fruit Beer". Dark amber colour. Strong fruity aroma of blackcurrants, blackberries, boysenberries and maybe some redcurrants too. Flavour is extremely fruity, raspberry, blackberries and redcurrants abound. A tolerable maltiness and a decent hoppy finish makes this an above-average ale. From the ratings of the pasteurized and bottled version it seems apparent that the cask version is superior.

Bottle: Poured a light brown beer with almost no head and no carbonation. Aroma is composed mostly of weak fruit sweetness. Taste is a mix of English ale malt and some fruit juice; honestly this mix won’t go down in history. I’m not sure I want to seek other product from this brewery after this.

Light amber colour with a slim frothy head. Blackberry and malt aroma. Fruityish taste, some sort of berry and malty. Pretty thin with an almost metallic taste in there. Quite refreshing. Not particularly bad, but not much to recommend it either.
