Commercial Description:
The huckleberry is native to the Pacific Northwest and is prized for it’s sweetness and texture. To celebrate summer and the huckleberry picking season, we have blended real huckleberries with our cream ale. Smooth and creamy with a light touch of huckleberries, it would be great at the lake, a bbq or simply just relaxing away a long summer day. Just like the berries, Huckleberry Cream Ale with be available for your enjoyment for a limited time! You never know when it will be gone until next year

Received a 12-oz bottle via trade with 5000. Pours a semi-clear golden pale amber brew with a thick and lumpy white head that has some good retention and spotty lacing. Aroma of blueberry, huckleberries, mild golden grain malt, a touch of citrus hops and some bubble gum. Taste is slightly spritzy with lots of carbonation, slightly metallic, with flavors of golden grain malt, multiple tart berry character, with some tart fruit. Finish has a mild tart aftertaste the quickly disappears.

Bottle, Thanks to Buckeyeboy. Poured a hazy yellow with fizzy white head. Aroma was very nice, mainly notes of blueberry, very nice. Flavor was nice, has a slight sweetness with, ofcourse, berry. Has a light mouthfeel with high carbonation. Pretty good beer....better then what I thought it would be.

2008 Bottle - I admit I had a preconceived notion about this one, but it really wasn’t that bad. It poured just fine for me, aroma is dominating, but the nice part is that it doesn’t end there. The flavour is of a malty bitter berry, heavier that I thought it would be, finishes clean, I might drink this again...

Sample pulled from the tank. Not being bottled for another week. Pale yellow. Real huckleberries infused into their cream ale, rather than syrup. Fruity nose like Imperial Fruit Loops, can smell the the sugars from the fruit. Fruit is very quiet in the taste. Some woody bitterness is the strongest element from the fruit.

Pops out of the bottle. Huge carbonated head. I have to wait 20 minutes to drink this thing. Perfume and fruit aroma. The beer is gold with a 5 inch head. The flavor is the same. Floral, perfume mixed in with some huckleberries. Light with extreme carbonation. This would probably be a lot better if on draft, or if the bottle wasn’t fucked.

Pours a clear honey color with an enthusiastic soap sud head. Aromatic, fruity, simple nose. Not sure what huckleberries taste like but there is some seedy bitterness in the end here that seems a little off. Not all that fruity, not all that yeasty or malty. Not much going on except the weirdness. Maybe I waited too long to open the bottle.
