Eel River Acai Berry Wheat

Brewed by Eel River Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Fortuna, California USA

Bottle shared by largadeer on BA in a quest for the worst beer ever tasting. Wow, Eel River, WTF? Is this really a beer? This is basically the acai berry version of what I’d expect Bud Select 55 to taste like. Pours a clear, watery golden-yellow with a small white head. Aroma is very light with butter and light fruit juice. Flavor is mild acai berry, seltzer water, just a touch of wheat, and butter. Palate is almost exactly like Fruit2O or some other carbonated fruit water. Hey, at least it’s drinkable. Good way to hydrate.

22 oz. bottle - Pours a clear light golden color with a half finger thick white head. Very little lacing. Aroma is light herbal hops and very light berry. Flavor is light berry. Not a lot going on here. Still, it’s a drinkable beer. Just wish I didn’t have a whole 22 oz. bottle to drink.

Golden clear color, light body hue with a decently sized white head. Aroma is blueberry like. Flavor is really arresting at first, like flat soda water. Just a light hint of wheat in the end.

Slight off aroma that reminds me of the old permanent hair treatment or slag from a blast furnace. Good initial tingle. Has a slight haze on an otherwise pale lager looken beer. Oddly, almost tart. Finish is fairly friendly and it sizzles a little.

Draft. Pours light gold with a white head. Berry sweet aroma, close to a raspberry or a blackberry. Light wheaty flavor with the same fruity berry sweetness. Decent.

Bomber from Bevmo, La Mesa. Light golden in color upon pouring. Sweet berry aroma. Light grainy flavored brew with a little bit of fruitiness. Clean and refreshing. Not very flavorful.

Clear golden straw, white head. Berry (acai(, ligh biscuit, and wheat. Bretty borring and easy, kinda watery. Meh.

Nice light berry aroma. Clear color. Flavor is somewhat similar to a blueberry or blackberry beer. A bit wheaty but decent enough.
