2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at the brewery after checking out the Frying Pan. Pour is very hazy... orange with a reddish tint. Taste is pretty plain, wheat and a faint tart fruitiness.. couldn’t really pinpoint blackberries. Not good at all.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
light brew with adequate blackberry favor not over powered by sweetness. a bit of soft seltzer in the mouthfeel. refreshing.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
At Spitzer ($6) (I did not buy this my friend did, even after I told her not to and then she proceeded to regret it afterward): Anyway, it pours a hazy amber peach color. Darker than would be expected. White thin head. Aroma of fruit. Blackberry not distinct. Kind of watery. Fruity. My friend thought it tasted like popcorn jellybeans. I don’t think she was that far off. Better than other blackberry beers I have had, but nothing exemplary.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A clear, dark amber brew with a small, quick fading head. The berry taste and aroma were both faint. My initial reactoin was a sour fruit taste in the front of the mouth followed by the hops. The hops overwhelmed the very subtle fruit.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Cloudy yellow beer with a thick white head. Aroma of raspberry, wheaty spice, bready yeastiness. A bit too sweet and thin-bodied. Not enough fruit and what is there is kind of candyish. Meh.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at Chelsea Piers.
Cloudy yellow. Light creamy head. Fresh blackberry nose along with caramel pastilles. Incredibly light bodied. The blackberry tone is nice, and does not take over. A refreshing beer.
