| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 10, 2009 Pours straw yellow with a medium head. Color is way off for a witbier. Aroma is mostly berry with a bit of malt. Mouthfeel is liveley with carbonation, but a bit thin. Flavor is pretty one-dimensional with berry being very dominant. I taste none of the Witbier components. Steib (581), Queen Creek, Arizona, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 8, 2009 Nice berry aroma a little malty. Grainy straw color. Berry flavor infused with spices and a present malt character. Sweet to dry aftertaste. Trys to be a wit but comes up short. A nice refresher. blindeyedbetty (152), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Apr 8, 2009 12 oz. bottle gives a big "whoosh" of berry aroma as it pours. A muddy terra cotta in color, this beer is darker than I anticipated it being. Large white head dissipates quickly leaving no lacing and a sour smell as the berry aroma fades. Front palate is sour with bitter middle and almost an acrid, burnt ash finish. Overly carbonated with a lingering sour aftertaste. Not blackberry, not witbier, not pleasant.

| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Apr 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy gold with a thin beige head that fades some. Taste is of yeast, wheat and a hint of blackberry. Similar aroma. Good, but I was expecting more fruit in the flavor and aroma. jredmond (1068), New Jersey, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 6, 2009 Updated: Jun 5, 200912 oz bottle. Pours a light hazy orange body with small white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma is blackberry and just a touch of citrus - which makes for an interesting combination. Taste is medium bodied with some blackberry at first and some citrus in the finish. This definitely tastes closer to a blackberry fruit beer rather than a wit bier with blackberry flavor. Although this beer does have a slightly weird flavor, it is absolutely more sessionable than Sam Adams other fruit offerings (Cherry Wheat first comes to mind). mmmbeer (765), Austin, Texas, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Apr 6, 2009 12 oz. bottle served in flute- poured roughly 90% transparent faded copper color, medium carbonation of small bubbles. White ring around the glass for a head. Aroma of young blackberries, weak coriander, and musky wheat. Hits the mouth with a high-weak body, malt gets lost among a strong blackberry sensation which seems a bit artificial, some tartness in the middle, finish is kind of a train wreck (weak hops mixed with various fruit sensations and old wheat- YUM!). Sam let me down today. blklab2007 (978), Connecticut, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 5, 2009 bottle poured a yellow in color with fizzy carbonation and a thin head. aroma has some berry extract, sweetness, and wheat. light refreshing mouth feel. flavor has some wheat, berry, and sweetness. the berry starts to grow on me a bit and is actually not too overdone. this would work on a hot summer day. aracauna (2391), Georgia, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 5, 2009 Nice blackberry here but ther is nothing that says witbier. Not coriander. No orange peel. Just light beer and fruit.
