| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 16, 2008 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy, jerc & tupalev - courtesy of HogTownHarry. Amber colour with a good sized white head. Not much fruit in the aroma at first, just some mellow malt, not very promising. Flavour is much nicer, with a good balance of sweet malt and berries, and not nearly as much alcohol as expected from a 10% beer - and then, suddenly, the aroma is just FULL of fruit! Very interesting, and pretty nice. jsh12bama (335), Alabama, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 16, 2008 Pours orange with a hint of ruby. Aroma of yeast and any other wheat beer. No fruit noted in the nose. Taste of blueberries and alcohol. Strong alcohol presence, especially for a fruit beer. Very sweet, but was expected for a DFH brew. It was OK but would not seek out again. BuckeyeSammy (455), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 13, 2008 A bit of a funky nose. Palate is blackberries and raspberries, balanced but sharp carbonation. Alcohol is incredibly well hidden. Expected it to be more malty. Great beer.

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | May 13, 2008 Clear red-orange beer with a huge frothy white head. Aroma is mostly sweaty, wet hair, not very enticing. Boozy caramel flavour, very sweet, with a berry essence that is quite subdued. Hot alcoholic finish. A disappointment.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 11, 2008 Not a big fan of this one. For me this beer is way to fruity with 300lbs of fresh blackberries and blueberries. Wont ever get again! Collint (453), Sylva, North Carolina, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 11, 2008 Bottle, pours a red orange amber with a beige head. Aroma is super sweet and alcohol. Flavor is berry sweet with way too much alcohol for this beer. This is not for me AR (423), Georgia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2008 A very dry beer with a distinct blackberry flavor. This is a fruit beer that has a noticeable winish touch. A bitter bite accentuates the tart flavors. daknole (2885), Plantation, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a nice red/orange color with a small mostly white head. Aroma reminds me of a cider with certain hints of fruit. Flavor is good but a bit odd. Citrusy and fruity, the fruit I can taste seems to be a raspberry, which must come from the combo of blueberries and blackberries. There is some nice sourness to the beer like a lambic. Finish has just the tiniest bit of hops with some fruity malitness. Not bad at all.
