Sep 4, 2009 Hazy brown in color, little head. Too carbonated. The blackberry seems to clash with the flavor of the rest of the beer. Maybe if it were a little smoother and slightly less bitter it’d be alright, but I don’t really dig it.

Aug 31, 2009 Bottle. Hazy straw yellow, pours with a big head that mostly disappears. Sharply carbonated. Sweet flavor and nose, lots of blackberry. Not overly sticky and easy to drink, although I’m not a big fan of the taste.

Aug 30, 2009 Pours a beautiul hazy gold with a thick white head. Nose notes are citrus, hops and blackberries. Mouthfeel is creamy. Taste is wheat with a slight blackberry tang. Hops are very subtle at the finish. A nice summer beer. Refreshing alone, it also pairs well with light picnic foods such as cheese, nuts or fruits.

Aug 27, 2009 really enjoyed this brew, strong aroma, imemdiately hit me with Blackberry flavor...not just a hint but a nice punch! A nice surprise after the overly pungent SA Cherry Wheat tasting. BB Witbier however seems more suited for a seasonal winter brew accompanying Oktoberfest, not sure why it was offered all summer long in local stores.

Aug 26, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a hazy orange-copper body with a finger-width, white, creamy head that dissipates slowly and leaves a good amount of lacing. Aroma is mainly a mixture of wheat grains and blackberry fruits. A bit syrupy with some raspberry and just a light acidic orange. Flavor is decently tasty without ever getting too "fruity." Medium sweet wheat malt, a bit of syrupy blackberry, bread, and just a hint of acidic citrus in the bready, semi-dry, light spiced finish. The aftertaste is a medium duration of bready berries and a light spiced orange. Medium bodied and creamy. Overall, not bad for a fruit beer. Enough malts to keep this from being too fruity. A nice, subtle beer with an expected BBC body and balance.

Aug 25, 2009 Bottle [12oz]. Pours a cloudy orange-copper with an average size mostly-lasting frothy white head. Sweet aroma of berries, a bit sugary, along with wheat and a hint of spice. Slightly watery flavour of wheat and berries along with some light hops in the finish. Average bodied. A bit sweet but it’s an otherwise fine Summer beer.

Aug 23, 2009 Bottle. Interesting copper-bronze color on this, with a slight haze. The berry aroma wafts quite a distant. Drinks with a bit of a creamy consistency, but the berry character kinda comes off a little, well, off ... I gotta agree with earlier raters, this comes across with more of a blueberry than blackberry flavor, but instead of being fruity, it’s almost funky. Still quite drinkable alternative for a hot day or with a nice berry-based dessert. (#3649, 8/23/2009)
