My personal favorite of the Berkshires. It's on the sweet side, with a slight edge of fruityness, that is thankfully mellow and understated like the rest of the beer. The aftertaste reminds me of blackberries.

"Pours with a slightly cloudy deep red brown body topped by a medium thick head leaving behind a good amount of lace. Sweet and fruity aroma similar to banana bread. Sweet and fruity(banana) malt flavor with a good hoppiness. The finish is malty with roasty notes. Medium to full bodied, slightly warming and smooth."

"Inspired by a western MA radio station, this is a slightly sweet ale for those who don't necessarily like sweet beer. The taste is mellow and understated with a hint of blackberry on the finish. Only comes in the 22oz, but if you find it one tap, you have to promise me you'll have a pint.
