Long Trail Blackbeary Wheat

Brewed by Long Trail Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Bridgewater Corners, Vermont USA

(2009) 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours super-clear golden with a fizzy white soda head that fizzles to nothing fast. The aroma is quite light, I’m really having to strain to find anything, but there is a small hint of blackberry and fruit with a touch of malt. The flavor is quite weak with a touch of fruit, some smooth wheat malt, and a noticeable dose of ketchup and general off flavors... nothing too good here. Smooth mouthfeel, but super high carbonation burns away.

Great fruit beer, i really enjoyed the aroma of blackberry and hops that really added to the character of this beer, great year round treat.

Looks like a wheat beer with a dose of blackberries in the flavor (seem like concentrate, similar to leinenkugels). I’ve made this style before and usually pack a lot more ingredients together to avoid having a watery candy flavored beer. I can’t believe the description mentions "lambics." No complexity. Makes Lindemans look stellar.

Pour is yellow, with a medium white head. Aroma is fruity, some wheat. Flavor is light, some blackberry, but not extreme. Wheat in the flavor is too light, very thing mouthfeel. Overall not bad, but a little light and slightly lacking in most categories.

Bottle, clear yellow with foam ring, aroma of koolaid with a weak fruity flavor, watery finish

Aroma - Wheat, bit of berry Appearance - Coors Light like... very light Flavor - Blackberry wheat. Light beer with a natural flavor of blackberries. Not artificial or sweet Palate - Light, not much to it

Bottle. Pours a large, frothy, white head. Clear, pale yellow body. Indistinct fruity sweetness in the nose. Flavor is of sweet malt, and faint, miscellaneous berry juice. Light body, prickly carbonation...somewhat thin. Crisp and clean finish. No bitterness. Overall a somewhat boring, but inoffensive beer. Could use some more a more distinct wheat malt presence and a bit more bitterness.
