May 25, 2008 750 ml bottle, 2008 stamped on the neck.
Hazy orange with a pinkish hue.
Aroma is sour bread with loads of fruit in the background.
Flavor starts with some yeasty notes, then the fruit sets in. Blueberries dominate for me with the blackberries fading in and out, going back and forth from sweet to tart.
Finish starts out dry, but by the end of the second glass it is starting to get a NutraSweet like character to it.
Bottle is probably best shared with a couple friends.

May 23, 2008 pours an extreme reddish orange color, with a two finger beige pink head. The flavor is kinda tart and dry, with an alcohol finish. You can taste the blackberries over the blue also a spicy finish. pretty decent overall but not my favorite

May 22, 2008 Bottle. Pours an orange-ruby with a quickly diminishing pale head. The nose is a weird, astringent raspberry with lots of dry cardboard. The initial flavour is somewhat sweet. As the brew sits on the tongue, tartness begins to arise. Passing the tongue, the sourness explodes. Though, it’s not really a pleasant sourness. It’s rather astringent. A light bitterness follows in the really dry finish. Blueberries and raspberries are dominant throughout the entire experience. I’m not really enjoying this a whole lot. I wish this came in a smaller bottle.

May 20, 2008 Really enjoyed this fruit beer. Pours a deep red with bluish tones, nice head. The berry flavors accentuate a nice strong ale with more sour than sweet notes. Tart, alcohol packs a punch but subtle. Halfway through the bottle the berries begin to monotonize the overall flavor. I’m not a fan of fruit beer but in this case I’ll make an exception. I will get this again.

May 20, 2008 Draft – Brickskeller. Dark hazed amberish pink, creamy off white head. Berry bubblegum and citrus nose warms to light bready tones throughout. Sweet dark berry wine cooler flavors flow into a light juicy citrusy ending. ABV shines well. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, fruity finish. This misses the mark for a fruit beer in my opinion. I suppose they can’t all be gems…

May 18, 2008 On tap at Julian’s, Providence. Really liked this one. Pours reddish gold with no head. Arome is of sweet berries with a wine finish. I thought the fruits were really well integrated with a very nice vineous quality. Some warming alcohol on the finish. I also thought the bottle version was a little too sweet, but this doesn’t seem to be the case on tap.

May 17, 2008 Close to 4-5 minutes after taking of drink of this beer, it was still finishing in my mouth. It tastes delicious and the fact that this great taste stays so well is my favorite quality.
