Commercial Description:
The huckleberry is native to the Pacific Northwest and is prized for it’s sweetness and texture. To celebrate summer and the huckleberry picking season, we have blended real huckleberries with our cream ale. Smooth and creamy with a light touch of huckleberries, it would be great at the lake, a bbq or simply just relaxing away a long summer day. Just like the berries, Huckleberry Cream Ale with be available for your enjoyment for a limited time! You never know when it will be gone until next year

Bottle: Pours a gold color with spotty lacing and decent head. The nose is bright and fresh with nice sweet huckleberry and sweet malts as well, like a fruit sorbet or a fruit pie, nice smell. The flavor is tasty, the hop bitterness stands out a bit more than I usually like, but it has a decent body and plenty of clean malty flavor and fruity accents that keep coming up. Finishes smooth and creamy. Delicious huckleberry beer, an Idaho classic.

(12oz. bottle, courtesy of Swalden 28) Pours a hazy pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of wild blueberries, pie crust, huckleberries, and powdered sugar. Flavor of huckleberry with sour that ends abruptly dry and some biscuit and light grain.

Poured a clear golden color with a small whitehead. The aroma was sweet and candy like. Berry notes and a strong odd quality. The flavor was fruity but very bitter and dry with a light body. Long bitterness.

Received a 12-oz bottle via trade with 5000. Pours a semi-clear golden pale amber brew with a thick and lumpy white head that has some good retention and spotty lacing. Aroma of blueberry, huckleberries, mild golden grain malt, a touch of citrus hops and some bubble gum. Taste is slightly spritzy with lots of carbonation, slightly metallic, with flavors of golden grain malt, multiple tart berry character, with some tart fruit. Finish has a mild tart aftertaste the quickly disappears.
