Malvern. Poured deep purple with a small purple head. Medium bodied. Aroma was all blackberries. Flavors were mostly black berries with a funky tartness that’s not very good.

On tap @ McKenzie’s. I only ordered this one because I’ve had everything else on tap and all the cellared beer I bought to take home with me. Poured a dark and murky purple color with an averaged sized purple head (hmmm, purple beer). Only distinguishable aroma and tastes was that of blackberries. Sour and tart finish. Pass on this one if you have other choices.

Draught at the brewery: I could have sworn this was a BLACKBERRY beer, but I could be wrong. Smells sweet and blackberry. Average white head. Little lacing. Sparkling, light purple in color. Looks almost like a white/purple mix. Tastes like blackberrys. A bit thin tasting. Medium bodied. Watery. Overall Impression: Eh, not a great fruit beer.

Small pink head, short lived, minimal lace. Murky, purple colored brew. Light, fresh blueberry nose. Light body, somewhat on the thin side. Fresh Blueberry flavors up front. Faint malt backing, lightly fruity. Finish is fairly dry and fruity. A nice enough berry brew i guess.
