Had this one at the pub in D.C.....nice dark orangey colour.....it tastes much lighter than the look suggests...fruity aromas.....light and drinkable.

Pint on tap at the brewpub. I am not a fan of fruit beer or flavoring like in this beer but this was a refreshing beer on a hot summer day. It is Ice cream flavor beer but I liked this stuff for some reason.

Had this one on draught at the brewpub near Union Station in Washington, D.C. Hazy, reddish orange pour with a pink head, a sweet, apricot nose, and a light, fruity, berry and peach flavor. Actually quite good.

Tried a few sips of my girlfriends pint from the Shirlington location. Pours a translucent, nearly fluorescent ruby-purple with absolutely zero head. Smells of mixed, sweet berries, grass, a touch of banana and a touch of clove. Flavor was sweet berries, no tartness whatsoever, hay, light grains, and a little booze. Finish is a little flat. Overall, nice fruit beer. The boysenberries add a nice, ripe fruitiness without the sour notes of raspberries or even blueberries.
