Aug 24, 2008 1Liter bottle-pours a big foamy off white head that laces and copper/orange color. Aroma is dry/earthy hops, mild berries, wheat/grainy/medium malt. Nice for a wheat. Taste is sweet berries upfront, then caramel medium malt/wheat/grain. Some alcohol comes through. Dry/earthy/spicy hops (continental and Simcoe?)/fruit/wheat. A well made beer. Not one of my favorite styles, but quite enjoyable. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing.

Sep 30, 2008 FUCK YOU WAX SWING TOP BOTTLE. Clear dark strawberry colored body, huge growing head, just off-white. Nose is semi-sweetened plastic-like berries, a bit of candied strawberry mixed in with some generic raspberry... stuff? The wheat is somewhat creamy and chewy, but it’s all really dominated by this plastic berryness, must be the mountainberries! Alcohol is more than neccessary, body is too thick and muddy. It’s a mess, for sure, but it actually doesn’t taste terrible like the oud bruin. Grows on you, but I think my tongue is just getting numb.

Jul 9, 2008 Note: wax on a swing top bottle looks nice but = major pain in the A** to open. Bottled May 8, 2008. Lightly hazed orange umber color. Very tall lasting dark cream colored head. Quite fruity in aroma. I’m actually detecting fruit loops, with what ever grain is used and the pseudo sweet chemical fruit scent. I’m catching some evergreen and herbal hops as well. Sweet wheat and malt flavors with just a hint of fermented berries. A bit like the berry wines my grandmother used to make. Quite bubbly and a touch syrupy. Things just don’t seem to come together in this one. A bit of a mess. A decent fruity malt liquor is the best description I can come up with.

Jun 10, 2008 NABA 08’: Pours a muddy purple brown color, nice head and lacing. Nose of light fruity berry, some wheat and a touch of wheat. The maltiness is solid and there’s an underlying fruitiness. It just doesn’t seem to come together or really express any specific idea with great enthusiasm. Decent body though.

Aug 31, 2008 ’1 liter waxed swingtop bottle (BC). Rich, dark coppery color with a multi-finger frothy beige/tan head. Lots of berry aroma, with a little yeast over grain. A deep inhalation gives a berry good impression. Medium plus body with rather creamy carbonation. The flavor has sherry aspects, and more heat than expected for 7.6%. Comes over as more of a wheat wine. Extremely smooth, and the berries contribute to a winey impression. It’s a bit sweet, but not overly so. The berry bitter adds balance. It’s very good ale, and one that comes far closer to a wine or mead than many (in flavor at least).

Dec 5, 2008 Purchased 1 litre swingtop bottle from Liquidsolutions.biz. Pours a hazy golden amber brew with a thin off-white head that slowly dissipates to a thin white ring. Aroma of tart berries, golden grain malt, a touch of yeast, and some toasted bread. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, dark berries, a touch of earthy spice, yeast and some cranberry. Finish is smooth with a mild yeast and blueberry aftertaste.

Jan 24, 2009 1L flip-top with some seriously difficult purple wax over it. Poured deep coppery-amber with a thick cap of rose(faint)-tinted beige head. The aroma picked up a broad array of berries that I could only pull out blueberries from.. kinda smelled like they were all from concentrate.. caramel backing.. the wheat showed with spicy accents and dusty appeal.. this grew on me as it warmed. The flavor was also carried by the berries of mixed origin.. darker berry meat met caramel at the core.. wheaty tartness and berry skins all over the edges giving a tart, engaging impression.. finished a little sharp when the alcohol caught up. Medium-bodied with low-to-moderate carbonation on the palate.. OK feel overall.
