Long Trail Blackbeary Wheat

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

Interesting offereing from Long Trail. It pours a yellow body with a small, fizzy white head. Visually, not that impressive with no lacing and a fully diminishing head. Aroma is fruity with hints of raspberries. Initial flavor is lightly sweet, building to a moderately sweet taste at the finish with a long duration. Light on the mouth, it has an oily texture with lively carbonation. Reviewer’s notes: "Take a look at that, very sweet, very fruity taste, smells like it would taste like a cider. Bottled on 7/17/06" Reviewed on September 17th, 2006.

12oz bottle-A golden color with an aroma of berry and wheat. taste of wheat and berry on the back end. Wish it had more berry flavor. Not bad

Bottle. Stale to the nose and lifeless pour. Muted black-berry taste but quickly swamped. Wish I hadn’t opened this one

Great aroma of blackberrys when you first open the bottle. This beer is not bad but after a while the taste of blackberries becomes overwelming. The beer also has an oily tecture to it that makes the beer must less "light" as advertised. Not a horrible beer but definatly not one I would seek out.

12oz bottle via trade with Dorwart, Thanks Jason! - Pours golden with a short white head that fades quick to a film but laces a little from there. Aroma of light blackberries and light grains. Flavor is very pilsner like with light grains and a subtle blackberry flavor that seems somewhat artificial.. Crisp and clean on the palate. Pretty well carbonated and pretty refreshing on a hot day.

Looks like a pilsner, tastes like wheat first, and then blackberries. Nice and refreshing on a hot day, but gets old after a few. Worth a try.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with a small thin white head with little retention. Aroma is sweet with blackcurrant being very hard to distinguish. Taste is also very sweet with some malt and some very subtle blackcurrant. Body is way too thin and this beer generally lacks character.

Pours light gold with little to no head. Smells like a berry soda. It has a simple wheat flavor with a slight berry ending. The finish is dry and smooth.
