I am fairly pleased to say I have only met one beer I did not like - Garrison Jalapena Ale. Mouth gets hot, take a drink, mouth gets hotter, take a drink, mouth gets hotter...you get the idea.
Belhaven Fruit Beer is not quite that but it isn't quite fruity either. When very fresh raspberries and blackberries have a kind of shrubby taste as well as all that sugar. That is the kind of fruit Belhaven has added to an otherwise moderate 60/ style Scottish ale. Hop bitter, a bit of roast barley bite and then the twiggy fruity thing. Smells subtly like Cap'n Crunch with Crunch Berries. Disconcerting in a beer. Not as much as it would be if it if it were Cap'n Crunch with the peanut butter berries.
I would probably say I will never have another of these except I have a second in the cupboard.
