[1] Review by bigred00 from buffalo, NY, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (8/27/2008 3:01:14 PM)
"Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz. bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: The body was a clear pale yellow color with a thin white head. Its head just covered the body and left only minimal lacing on the glass.
Smell: The aroma had a pleasant bouquet of sweet wild berries with some notes of grain and wheat malts.
Taste/Mouth feel: It has a slight acidity and a semi-sweet blackberry flavor up front that is held in check buy the twang of the wheat. These two flavors are balanced nicely and work very well together. Hop flavor is very mild offering only a very slight herbal flavor and almost no bitterness. The taste thins towards the finish, which is crisp and slightly dry. Its body is light with a crisp refreshing texture and an average to fizzy carbonation.
Notes: This beer has a nice solid flavor with an easy to drink body that makes for a nice hot weather refresher.

"Overall an average beer. Watered down and weakened taste. The hints of berry were present, but not much else. Could use a bit more of a body with this one, but I'm not much on a fruitbeer expert."

[3] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/15/2006 1:18:42 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with a small thin white head with little retention. Aroma is sweet with blackcurrant being very hard to distinguish. Taste is also very sweet with some malt and some very subtle blackcurrant. Body is way too thin and this beer generally lacks character."

[4] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/26/2006 3:25:58 PM)
"They did a decent job with the blackberries, but the beer itself is boring and insipid. Pale, clear gold with an ok head. Nice, subtle fruitiness. Weak flavor and body. Clean, but bland other than the light touch of the berries."

"Not all that bad; not too great either. Great idea with the blackberries. I would have liked more of the flavor tho. Typical summer type brew and this could be easily enjoyed by most. Light sweet fruity and a touch dry to finish where a certain ripe blackberry essence lingers..........just for a bit. Reminded me a bit of sam adams cherry wheat but less mediciny and lighter. I prefer the Blackberries too, which are basically the only character here upon a neutral wheat base. clean flavors. Easy grabbin one after another with this."
