Oct 4, 2009 Bottle. Pours an average, white, pitted head. Hazy, yellow body. Fruity, funky (slight vinegar) aroma accompanied by a sweet sugar smell. Super sweet, syrupy flavor with some muddled malts. Light-medium body, prickly carbonation with a fairly dry finish. A bit cidery. Overall a fairly underwhelming beer.

Oct 3, 2009 Bottle. Hazy golden pour with a tiny-bubbled head. Berrilicious nose but not especially distinctly Huckleberry. A little rubber. Taste is also astringent and lightly rubbery, don’t think this is a bad bottle, dryish with a lemon-funk. Medium body, whole picture is a little like Arbor Mist. And that means meh.

Oct 2, 2009 Slightly hazy copper body with zero cap to speak of. Not sure what huckleberry is except for the Hana-Barbar cartoon character but man does this smell yummy. Aroma kind reminds me of raspberry yogurt. Very perfumey & sweet with a good tartness to balance the aroma out. Very Very flowery perfume taste but in a good way. Tasty sweet Raspberries or I guess I mean huckleberries built on a nice smooth malty back bone. Taste is very berryfull without being overly sweet. Nice crisp carbonation. Brew finishes with a touch of medicine. I like this stuff it’s a fruit beer I could see myself drinking all night but only if I was in tight black leather pants.

Aug 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours golden amber in color with a lively pure white head. The aroma is tart, crisp and fruity. This beer is easy drinking, light in flavor, somewhat fruity, just right for the summer. You get a bit of the berry flavor while still not overpowering the beer. Light in body and crisp, clean in finish.

Aug 8, 2009 12 oz bottle from Market of Choice. Pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma hefty on huckleberries and some caramel malt. Flavor has a big, sour hit of huckleberries and some mild caramel. Not as tasty as one might hope from a very tasty berry.

Aug 7, 2009 On tap at Washington Brewers’ Fest 2009. Yikes. Pours ultra clear amber with a thin white head. Smells and tastes like a PB&J. Interesting I guess, but not what I had in mind.

Jul 31, 2009 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with ditmier. Pours a slightly hazed gold with a thin-moderate sudsy white head that disappeared after the first sip and left no lace. Mild aroma of berries, which I assume are huckleberries, along with a bit of malt. The flavor is again mild huckleberries and malt. Light bitterness at the finish. Very effervescent and spritzy on the palate; more like a soda than a beer. So so.

Jun 25, 2009 Bottled. Poured slightly hazy light-medium orange with a short-lived cap of white head. The aroma picked up sweet huckleberries (not that I’d know the aroma unless it was stated on the label ;) over a soft pale malt and light fruity base.. not too exciting, but well-balanced. The flavor had more of a tangy and spicy aspect of the fruit over a dry bready and honeyed core.. tart finish, but not in a refreshing way. Lighter-bodied with poor flow across the palate (almost syrupy right on front with a big tart kick showing shortly after).. this was also more scratchy and dry than creamy.. didn’t care much for this.
