Bomber. Had a good blackberry aroma. Yellow body with large white head. Good, fruity berry flavor throughout the beer and a medium tart in the mix. Decent fruit beer especially for an organic beer.

Pretty decent hot weather beer. Refreshing but nothing really exciting about it. Body is a clear golden color, with a bright white 2" foamy cap. Aroma is a Kool-Aid berry aroma, with wet cereal, cracker and malt notes. Suprisingly sweet with a solid wheat profile, but I didn’t get much berry character. Just a lot of unrefined sweetness and some malt. Easy to pound down a bomber though.

Pure white head. Body of straw with lots of bubbles coming up in the glass. Aroma of Acai berries can be picked up with an ever so slight yeast character to it. For those that haven’t’ had them, Acai berries taste very similar to blackberries crossed with a little apricot. Flavor of this beer is very clean and the fruit is very muted, at best. Carbonation bite. Refreshing.

I was wrong and without a good sample size this brew need the extra taste to get the Acai beery flavor. Dry berry flavor and slight tart more like a off sour beer. Very faint the flavor is for the berry. 2009 Oregon Brewers Festival – Portland, OR
Aroma: Wheat malt aroma with very little else.
Appearance: Golden in color, Clear with a light head.
Flavor: Nice wheat malt flavor the berries did not come through and what came out was bland flavored.
Palate: Dry Finish, with a Bland Mouthfeel.
Overall: I was truly disappointed in this brew. I will buy a bottle when I find one and re rate then but I was hoping this was going to have some decent fruit flavor. Very bland.

bottle, pours light gold, thin white head and a noticable presence of lots of carbonation. Light wheat aroma with notes of acai berry and blueberry. Very pleasant. Sweet wheat and light malt body with a rich and full berry finish that is not artificial at all. Highly drinkable, with a very crisp mouthfeel.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Clear looks, golden in color, small whitish head. the smell is artifcially fruity, berries, and wheat. The taste is weak, fruits, berry, and wheat.
