Jul 20, 2008 Slightly hazy golden yellow, average white head. Very robust aroma of blackberries and blueberries (which, I take it, is what huckleberries smell like?). The palate is similarly dominated by the fruit. This beer is saved by two things: the nice creamy mouthfeel and the more-than-usual bitterness in the finish. I enjoyed it.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle: Pours a gold color with spotty lacing and decent head. The nose is bright and fresh with nice sweet huckleberry and sweet malts as well, like a fruit sorbet or a fruit pie, nice smell. The flavor is tasty, the hop bitterness stands out a bit more than I usually like, but it has a decent body and plenty of clean malty flavor and fruity accents that keep coming up. Finishes smooth and creamy. Delicious huckleberry beer

Jul 10, 2008 On tap at Henry’s 12th Street Taproom in Portland, OR--Cloudy golden body with a fluffy soft white head. Fruity, artificially flavored Flintstone Vitamin Chewables nose. Finished like the flavor of sweet Cool Aid after brushing your teeth. Eh.

Jun 21, 2008 bottled, pours medium yellow with minimal white head with good carbonation, aroma of strong berries but nothing scary, cider like citrus up front on palate with nice berry flavor in the middle followed by lingering yeast, very smooth and not artificially fruity tasting.

Jun 17, 2008 Nice fruity beer. Pours hazy yellow with very little head. Surprisingly well balanced and not to sweet or overly fruity. Nice smooth drink.

Jun 10, 2008 aroma is a very strong berry which makes me think that this beer willl have the common malady of most fruit beers - overfruited. Pours a hazy gold/yellow with a slight white head. Taste is better than I thought it would be with a sour berry taste followed by some biscuits and a tiny bit of sweetness. A lingering berry/biscuit taste stays in the palate. I have had better huckleberry beers (I am a sucker for huckleberry beers) but I have certainly had worse fruit beers.

Jun 8, 2008 Thanks to BückDich for the bottle. Slightly hazy gold with a white head. Sort of sour, fruity, biscuit, blueberries, and some sweetness in the end. Finishes tart and dry. Interesting, but not my thing.

Jun 8, 2008 Smells like banana and berries. Maybe tastes more like blueberries than huckleberries. Surprisingly and refreshingly tart, compared to a lot of other fruit beers. Dry and grainy finish. Seems like the huckleberries would be nice in a nicer base beer. Bitter aftertaste like a slightly green banana.
