JoeZasada (95), Beaumont, Alberta, Canada Jul 10, 2008 pours a dark golden colour... thin white head that dissipates quickly... aroma of honey and berries... tastes of moderate hoppiness, with a light hint of fruit and a distinct tartness... finishes with a bit of bitterness... this one is pretty unique; I’ve never had a fruit beer quite like it... brvijay (2), USA does not count Jan 6, 2008 A superb and unique new lager from a new craft brewery in Edmonton... very quickly became one of my favourite beers.... pours light gold, fruity aroma without overt sweetness, a subtle hint of pepper hits your palate in a bold but not overwhelming fashion... the wine of beers. pootzboy (900), Calgary/ Kitchener, Alberta, Canada Nov 16, 2006 Bottle:
A sharp pour puts a delicious looking hazed translucent gold beer in the thistle...decent sticky-rocky cap with good retention and lacing properties.
Interesting nose on this one; pungent malts over a distinct berry tone and a ground pepper tone...pretty unique.
sufficient malt spine, light fruity body, frutiy-light character
Up front a good dose on those sweet malts you got in the nose then a distinct berry pulp infusion joined with some tastefully done hopping...finished clean crisp lightly drying ( some wheat?) with a mild berry tartness and a light bittering aftertaste from the hops.
A very pleasant and unique brew...certainly one of the most interesting tastes I have had from a fruit beer..
