Commercial Description:
Light, crisp and refreshing, Blackbeary Wheat is modeled after the spontaneously fermented "Lambics" of Belgium. Real blackberries added to the fermentation contribute a subtle fruitiness to this Summer Quencher! Available May through August.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow w/ a small white head. Faint aromas of berry and grains. Palate is thin with a moderate amount of carbonation. Taste is faintly of berry ( might be blackberry, to faint to tell ) and grains. Could be an ok summertime lawnmower beer.

Pours clear gold into a tumbler. Bright white head with excellent retention leaves spider lacing as it recedes to skim surfaced. Berry, marshmallow and stale malt aromas. Crisp with blackberries and sour malts. Dry lasting berry finish.

Not much of a nose....lacking substance and depth. I wanted fruit and rich wheat but it just was not there. Better in the mouth though. The blackberry comes through with a firm sutle stance, followed by well balanced hops and lingering prairie wheat. Slightly hoppy on the finish, and soft in the mouth.

Bottle. Sweet aroma, definite traces of berry. Pale yellow body, small head. Mild and refreshing flavor, with blackberry. Overall not at all unpleasant, but not much of a memorable impression.

355 ml bottle from a mixed sixer given to me by my dad. pours pale yellow with a quick white head. aromas are berryish with a touch of grain. the flavour is blackberry based with some american wheat ale aspects. this one is very thin and lacking any sort of memorable qualities. it might be ok as a summer thirst quensher but it did nothing for me tonight.
