| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 19, 2009 Pours a pale golden color with a small white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and candy like.

Small Off-white head. Unimpressive sweet-artificial blackberry aroma. Wheaty flavor with some artificial flavors thrown in. Rather thin mouthfeel, and an artificial blackberry aftertaste that won’t stop. Meh. jcwattsrugger (5333), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 18, 2009 12oz bottle-pours a foamy off white head and slightly hazed gold color. Aroma is fruit-blackberry, some grain. Taste is fruit-blackberry, some grain, slight spice hops. It is what it is….a fruit beer. Not sure I get any wit character. Thanks jwc215 for picking this one out. gringo332 (238), Richardson, Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours a honey color. Medium white head. Suprisingly good lacing. Fruity (blackberry) aroma. Pleasant wheat beer persona with light blackberry taste. Nice malty mouthfeel. Overall a very nice fruit beer. Excellent for drinking on a summer evening. Just wish there was something to distinguish it from other decent wheat brews. raradel (34), Greenville, South Carolina, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 17, 2009 In my obsession for the small batch beer or the off the radar brew I have stayed away from an American success story. Sam Adams brought me back with this Blackberry Witbier, promising something different. Though this beer is not life changing, it is a chance for the average beer drinker to try something out of there comfort zone. Some will say it is flat and unexciting, but I say nay, it is exciting for our non-beer obsessed to get to try something different with a familiar name. So go on beer snobs and introduce your friends to something nice, maybe a pretty girl at a summer bbq. Do work. Pailhead (2593), Allen Park, Michigan, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 16, 2009 Bottle: The aroma consists of artificial blackberry (kool-aid-ish) and slight grassiness. It pours a transparent golden-orange with a small white head. The flavor has some light-moderate blackberry flavors throughout. The finish has moderate grassiness. There really aren’t too many characteristics here. Light bodies with moderate carbonation. mar (1847), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 14, 2009 honey/amber pour with a thin white head. nose is blackberries and sugar. decent on the palate and surprisingly quite light on the blackberry flavor. you can still get the "wit" flavor but it’s smoothed out nicely by the blackberries.
