Feb 13, 2007 Bottle from Dilly Deli. Poured a hazy golden yellow color with a large white head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Heavy sweet berrry pie aroma. Medium body with thin texture. Moderate sweet berry pie flavor with a smooth moderate sweet finish of moderate duration. Interesting but to sweet.

Feb 12, 2007 Cloudy apricot pulp body, medium off-white head with abundant lacing. Potent, sharp boysenberry aroma, quite appetizing, but I don’t have any pancakes at hand. Very surprising body; I expected a sharp tartness after smelling this a few times, but it presents with bitter fruitskin that complements, instead of overwhelms, the cerealy wheat and grassy hops. Creamy, soft mouthfeel. Count me as pleasantly surprised.

Feb 12, 2007 One of the better berry beers i’ve had, great nose and fresh berry flavor. The base beer was well balanced with a very clean flavor to not get in the way of the berry, the wheat flavor was light and dry and the finish clean and lightly crisp. No fruit syrup taste like some fruit beers, very impressive. Also had a great pour, very strong head, unusually strong for a beer from sam adams.

Feb 12, 2007 Cloudy pour with a foamy white head. The aroma was of boysenberry for sure. Flavor was wheat and berries but seemed pretty basic and plain. Not a bad beer for flavored wheat.

Feb 11, 2007 Bottle. Body-dark hazy body with a half inch foamy head. Nose-very nice clean berries honey. Taste-toasted oats, corn flakes, blueberries, light butter, absolutely perfect sweetness, good dose of wheat. Don’t know what hops were used, but they lend a perfect citric punch. In my opinion, this is what a fruit beer should be-fruity, not too sweet, and still retaining it’s beer identity. Good job.

Feb 11, 2007 Pour is a hazy yellow/gold with some lacing on the glass and a ring of white cream around the edge. Aroma is very pleasent boysenberry (I assume). Not too strong, not too sweet. Flavor is a smooth wheat with just a touch of the boysenberry in the finish. A very drinkable beer.
