Mar 10, 2009 Yellow orange in color... Aroma of blackberries... Flavor is very light and would be kind of refreshing if it weren’t for the terrible sweet taste it leaves on your palate... I can’t believe Sam Adams would actually mass produce this beer... Tastes like a Raspberry Spritzer, actually hard to finish... Didn’t really expect it to be good though as the only really good fruit beers are belgian lambics

Mar 9, 2009 Fruit flavored wheats pretty much never work, and Samuel isn’t really the brewery that makes you think "well, maybe they are the ones to pull this off." In fact, I think Sam brews a whole line of crappy fruit beers, such as cherry wheat, and the terrible "lambic." PASS.

Mar 9, 2009 Cloudy tan yellow with actual sediment floating throughout the beer. Kind of disgusting and abnormal. It may be a rotten beer which is unusual for Sam Adams and its freshness controls. Light aroma featuring a blackberry smell. Sweet like a jam. Only the smallest amount of hops brings a nice balance to the smell. A pleasing flavor like a light lager sprinkled with berry tones and then a honey afterthought. Palate is very light an quenching. I’d consider this a nice summer brew.

Mar 9, 2009 Slightly cloudy golden copper coloured body with an orange tint and a thinnish slightly off-white head that dies very fast. Aroma of fake blackberries, raspberries, caster sugar and a bunch of malt - but not much else. Light-bodied; Fake sugar flavours up front dominate with some wierd fruit flavours afterwards and a bit of icing sugar and some cardboardie malt. Aftertaste has mostly fake flavours throughout - with nothing complex dominating. Overall, a pretty lacklustre beer, no strong flavours of any quality and no good fruit flavours - you can smell falseness throughout this one. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Spirits in Washington, D.C. on 07-March-2009, sampled a day later at home here!

Mar 8, 2009 12 ounce bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a medium creamy head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of berries that starts tart and turns bitter. Taste is bitter blackberry with bready malts and green apple. Medium bodied. In no way a wit.

Mar 7, 2009 12oz bottle from BevMo! Mission Valley. Hazy gold with a light orange hue, white head. Nice nose of black berries and wheat. Flavor was faint with some wheat and blackberries.......ok.

Mar 7, 2009 Not really a fan of this one. Has a piss pour (literally) light gold color. Smells of burnt berries. Taste like a poor attempt of a berry beer. Nothing special at all about this one. Aftertaste is bitter. Wachusette and Long Trail do a better job for a flavored beer like this.
