Pours medium dark yellow with a white head. Smells of bubblegum, with a little fruit. The flavor is pretty watery and tastes of a little blackberry and wheat. Pretty bland all around and has an unpleant aftertaste. I cant believe how low the ABV is here. Dissapointing.

Bottle- Slightly hazy yellow pour topped with a fizzy white cap. The nose is grainy and has some pale malts as well as a slight fruity component, which can be attributed to the blackberries, but it is pretty weak. Sweet grainy straw flavour with sugars and pale malts, with only a touch of fruit and slight bitterness. Fizzy, watery, grainy. Below average.

Got a half pint of this and that was probably enough for the rest of my life. The smell was like a berry dish soap. The taste was just not there with no real beer flavor that finsihes heavy with the berry taste. Now that I read that they were going for a lambic like taste it makes more sense but still disappointed. A beer that I might buy for a girl who doesn’t like beer.

This is not a "beer" worth drinking. Pours a faint gold, with a tiny scent. Flavor is watery, and the carbonation gobbles up any semblance of an agreeable flavor. At 3.8% alcohol this brew won’t even get you happy, so I really cannot recommend this.

Smells of sour fruit and yeast, kind of like a lambic. Taste is very watery light berry flavor. Not much else.

Bottle: Hint of Blackberry amora and flavor. A very light beer. Much lighter than I was expecting. Enjoyable but not impressive.

12 oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear pale gold with a thin white head that disappeared before the first sip. Light aroma of blackberries and wheat. The flavor is very light wheat with some even lighter blackberries lurking in the background. The mouthfeel is thin and watery and leaves a bit of a soapy aftertaste. Glad I bought a single and not a whole sixpack!
