Commercial Description:
The blackberries we use in Samuel Adams® Blackberry Witbier are perfect for this brew. They deliver a subtle sweetness that balances the traditional citrus flavors from the witbier. The blackberries used in Samuel Adams Blackberry Witbier are sourced from family farms, located at the foot of the Oregon Trail and Cascade Mountains in Western Oregon, where they have been growing some of the best blackberries in the world for centuries. By bringing the blackberries, orange and coriander together with an appealing malt character and a spiciness from the hops, we’ve brewed a flavorful beer with a smooth finish that’s both sweet and tart. Samuel Adams® Blackberry Witbier is brewed with two-row Harrington and Metcalfe malted barley and generous portions of malted wheat. The malted barley and malted wheat provide the beer with its light body while the coriander and orange give the beer its citrus like aromas. We’ve also added some Oregon Marion blackberries, to give the brew a perfect balance between its subtly sweet and tart flavors.

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.

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.

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.

Hazy golden body with a frothy white head. Blackberry and wheat aroma. Very nice. Very smooth, but a bit light on the palate. Blackberries, coriander and orange peel on the flavor. Not much in the way of hops. Not as "big" as I expected it to be but still a good beer.

Aroma smells of old stale leftover keg beer and flavor is not much better. Kept trying to find the blackberry but appears smothered by bad taste.

First of all, I’ve never met a witbier I didn’t like. This one came from the new bottle, not the "Sample A" bottle pictured on the left. Poured golden, good blackberry aroma. Another big winner from Sam Adams. Great taste. What can I say, you taste the blackberries and of course the witbier laced with hints of vanilla, toffee, coriander, orange peel, and probably more. A crack watery, but solid.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours a hazy gold with fizzy white head. Aroma of obvious blackberry and wheat, hey. Flavor is nice, malty wheat and blackberry. Mouth feel is soft with high carbonation. Over all, a nice refreshing beer!
