| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 26, 2007 Courtesy of Zathrus13. Pours ruby red with a persistent off white head. Smells of Blueberries, smeet malt, some dough, some tanginess. Tastes of blueberry pie with underlying sugary molasses. A completely unbalanced oversweetened mess. Red and white was much better.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 26, 2007 Bottle - A really well done beer. This beer was primarily refreshing and quite drinkable. The coloration was nice. Perfect carbonation level. Alcohol content well masked. The fruit is subtle and provides a nice background to the malt and spicy hop character.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 24, 2007 Thin light pink head of varying sized bubbles. Decent carbonation. Sweet and fruity aroma with some raspberry, honey and sweet malts. Color is a nice mahagony red. Light fruity flavor. Some blueberry and raspberry. Dry and a little tart. Noticable alcohol presence and warming. Goes down pretty easy. Tart dry finish with a bit of lingering raspberry. A decent and potent fruit beer. Why did they make this again? Seems like a lighter version of the Fort. GonZoBeeR (2163), ste-Eulalie, Quebec, Canada

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 23, 2007 Pours a beautiful dark orange color with a slightly reddish hue, generious dark white head with a light reddish tint, nose full of fruits & malts with hints of blackberry & blueberry, also a touch of hops, medium in body, had a bit of a spritzy mouthfeel, felt a lot like drinking a glass of champagne, mild flavors with notes of fruit, berries, bread & dry hoppiness, finish & aftertaste were generally dry with a touch of that DFH signature maltiness, another pretty original brew from DFH, the alcohol was very well masked, only a slight hint of it toward the back-end of the body, a pretty decent fruit beer

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jul 22, 2007 Pours a nice reddish color. Aroma with hints of fruit. Very long lasting frothy head. More of a blackberry taste. I couldn’t appreciate the blueberry much. Not a bad beer overall. radagast83 (1317), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 20, 2007 Pours a redish color. Head is a very light redish hue. Aroma was a little heavy on the alcohol (10%), but surprisingly it wasn’t as prominent in the taste. Flavor is that of berries - notably blackberries and blueberries (only makes sense). fozapd (33), Burlington, New Jersey, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 18, 2007 Black and Blue was an interesting beer to say the least. It was nicely done as far as fruit beers go. The color was a nice red body with a pink head. The taste was still very much consistent with beer with a note of the blackberries. The aroma was inviting with a berry smell and sweet notes throughout. I honestly expected something more like the Fort, but this one was a solid beer with a nice hint of fruit. Well Done!
