Oct 4, 2009 Tap at World Beer Fest. Pours hazy light amber/orange with white head. For better or worse, the blackberry is not strong at all. More just adds a bit of sweetness and a good bit of floral taste. Not too much wheat. Sort of sour and floral and overly sweet. Pretty much a mess.

does not count  Jul 23, 2009 Ugh. Terrible example of a fruit wheat beer. Almost no fruit taste at all and the wheat base was so bland.

Feb 27, 2009 A hazed orange pour with creamy off white head and lace. Not much at all on the nose. Blackberries so light you can’t tell they’re there. A foamy and fizzy mouthfeel.

Feb 7, 2009 NC on tap-pours a white head and cloudy amber color. Aroma is ? Taste is mild blackberry syrup, musty malt, some continental hops. No detractors but…

Dec 30, 2007 On tap at Liberty... Hazy amber-nut pour, with soapy lace. Some fruity notes to the nose, plus a cross between wheat and a warehouse (weird). Dry, citrusy-wheat flavors, and a latent bitter back on the finish. The palate is watery, and not very satisfying, complex, or an interesting take on the style.

rosey pink, fine pink head, light berry aroma, creamy body, light sweet berry flavor, the sweetness is well contained and balanced well with the lightness of the wheat base beer, a bit of tartness from either the berry or wheat adds nice balance, a very well done brewpub fruit beer,

Apr 7, 2007 Growler from the Brewpub, High Point. Dark yellow (copper?), no head. Lots of malt and berry in aroma. Lots of berry bitterness over medium body. Lots of malt as well, hard to see where the wheat aspect comes in. The Blackberries really came through here, but this was average at best - sort of watery and plain. Ok.

Aug 23, 2006 on tap at High Point location.
Decent head that quickly diminishes. Not much hint of hefeweissen flavors, which may be for the best. Would prefer it to have more wheaty or hoppy flavor, and maybe a slight bit more hop. Good flavor but specific identification of blackberry isn’t prevalent in the beer.
