anders37 (2834), Malmö, Sweden Aug 18, 2008 Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a darkish brown color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty blackberry aroma- Fruity malty blackberry flavor. Sweet fruity blackberry finish.
Skyview (3063), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Jul 2, 2008 On draught at the brewery taproom in Lynnwood, Washington. Pours a clear dirty copper amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates to a clean top, thin ring and some spotty lacing. Aroma of Kool-aid berry that over power some of the wheat and any hop character. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with an excellent balance of multi-grain malt with wheat and blackberries. Finish is semi-sweet, a very nice crisp character with some light berry aftertaste that slowly disappears. Nicely done. riversideAK (1757), Shoreline, Washington, USA Apr 15, 2008 Dark brownish red with a lasting beige head. Aroma of dark malt, light roast, chocolate, and fruity blackberry essence. Weirdly vinous, with a touch of sweet dark malt, blackberry and not a lot else. For all things considered I guess it finished pretty clean. Was over carbonated. after4ever (1925), Brier, Washington, USA Jan 15, 2007 Dark mahogany pour; essentially headless and laceless by the time I got it to the table. Little on the nose but the berry--same goes for the palate. It’s not at all overpowering, it just doesn’t have any company. bitbucket (1601), Kirkland, Washington, USA Jan 14, 2007 Draft at the brewpub. Pours a hazy amber with a thin off-white head. Light body that still gives a creamy impression. Soft berry sweetness in the aroma and taste. Clean finish with a grassy hop influence. For a fruit beer this is pretty good.
