Apr 10, 2005 Hazy blonde colour. Berryish aroma. Tart, fruity. Light, refreshing and balanced. That it leans towards tartness rather than sweetness is a plus.

Oct 24, 2005 Straw yellow color, lightly misty, retentive pale yellow head, moderate lacing and very balanced carbonation. The nose is sweet with some berryness and an off wheatish note that really steals the spotlight and ruins the show, this had some promise from the berries. The flavor is lightly sweet, almost no hops and a creamy mouthfeel. Watery body and almost no aftertaste. A decent fruit beer but it stumbles in several areas.

Sep 15, 2004 Updated: Sep 29, 2005I do not like fruited up (what I call "umbrella beers"), and this is a prime example of why. It’s not "light and refreshing" as advertised. It’s a carbonated fruit drink, more like a berry soda than a beer. Beer of the Month Club

Jul 10, 2004 Very light orange gold color. Small white foamy head. Aroma is berries, honey and sweet. A light bodied fruit beer. Malts are mild, fruity and sweet. There is a very slight hop bitterness. It does have the taste of huckleberries, and they are identifiable as such. Crisp and clean. Light and refreshing. There are no discernable flavor flaws in this beer; it’s just that there is really very little flavor at all. Everything seems toned down and muted. A touch thin and watery. Nothing really to recommend it beyond that it’s made with huckleberries. Mouthfeel is a little thin and watery. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is sweet with a touch of berries.

Sep 23, 2007 Pours gold with some haze and a nice white head. Smells of huckleberries, some tarte hints, apples, subtle honey and wheat. Tastes of huckleberries, some tarte lemony tinges, earthy and has a mellow bitterness and tangy finish. Refreshing and palatable.
