Style: Fruit Beer
Boston, Massachusetts USA

12oz bottle. medium golden,, medium white head. heavy aroma of mixed berries. flavor of light malts and light flavor of fruit. nice balanced finish. very fruity

33 cl bottle, Fargo. Distinct berry aroma reminds me of a Celestial Seasoning tea (although not sure if it boysenberry) ;-) Slightly cloudy golden colour, Some rice flavor, very light finish, not horrible but there are better fruit beers out there.

The best way I can describe this beer is "chewy" -- it has an exceptional, lingering palate. The aroma blows you away at first with the ripe boysenberry flavor, but I didn’t mind that fruity sweetness. This is a great beer to have with dinner or as an after dinner drink, but it is a little too sweet to have more than one in a row. It’s easy to see why this was an award winner.

Moderately hazy yellow with a creamy, white head; head becomes a medium-sized ring and leaves a tiny bit of lacing. Aroma is sharply sweet, sugary berry, honey, citrus, bread, and hops. Flavor exudes a lot of berry; bready and wheaty; light hops in the finish. Medium body; very lightly sticky on the lips. One of the best fruit beers I’ve had to date; fruity but not fake; mellow and bready; a nice spring beer.

The berries in this beer actually contributed to an awful initial soapy flavor. This tones down after a few swallows. This beer represents everything I hate. Comprehensively goofy.

Pours a nice white head, with a cloudy pale yellow color, says unfiltered....but I’m more than a little skeptical. Sweet boysenberry, almost artifical flavor. wheaty and light, if you’re a fan of fruit beers this may be for you....but its not my cup of boysenberry tea.

Murkey orange pour with a huge and frothy white head. I have no idea what a boysenberry is, but this brew has a nice fruity aroma, kind of like a tart blueberry. Mouthfeel is slightly creamy leading to, *surprise*, a fruity taste. There is some wheat in there, but barely. OK, it’s one-dimensional but it was good!!

Pours a two finger white head that fades to a lumpy layer leaving some lace. Cloudy amber color. Medium-strong carbonation and medium bodied. Sweet fruity nose. Flavor sweet boysenberry, hops are balancing, clean finish. Would make a good summer beer. $7.49 6-pak, 12oz bottle from Capitol Convenience Concord, NH.
