Jun 18, 2009 Experienced from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer pours a reddish gold, perhaps from the addition of the fruit. Yet, given the fact that the company is owned by MillerCoors, I doubt it is really "real" fruit, and more likely extracts or concentrates. The aroma is essentially non-existent. I got no hint of hops, malt, or esters; only a touch of whatever essence hadn’t been fermented out from the fruit. The palate is somewhat more complex than the aroma. While there aren’t really any stand-out hop or malt notes, the fruit gives an acidity that makes the beer vaguely wine-like, although it may be a bit of a stretch to write that. Overall, this is a drinkable but not very good beer.

Jun 14, 2009 Somewhat hazy tan bronze. Refreshing, clean blackberry aroma. Enjoyable, refreshing blackberry flavor with nice fruitiness. Sweet, but my no means saccharine. Overall, a pleasant and well-mannered fruit beer that is a great seasonal.

Jun 12, 2009 Blackberry flavor is not the greatest, tastes slightly artificial. I could taste the berries first, then the wheat, which was decent.

Jun 10, 2009 About as bad as SA Cherry Wheat...or maybe...its hard to tell with the truly awful beers. All of the berries used in the process are great by themselves, but should not be put into a brew, or at least one by this company. Save your money, save your palate, save your life.

May 24, 2009 Pours pinkish, berry flavor, slight hops. Yeah, I know it’s pretty ordinary, but it’s my favorite summer beer.

May 24, 2009 Good beer to try but not a big fan of the fruit beers offered by leinenkugels. Another one I had to try to support local brewery

May 23, 2009 Pours a pinkish amber color with a slight pink head. Berry is mostly all on the aroma with a hint of wheat. Slightly tart flavor at first with the berries, not much else at all on the flavor.
