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

A very nice summer beer. It takes a couple too sort out the flavors of huckleberry. As soon as you open the bottle, you smell the huckelberries which are nicely balance with great NW hops. It is a 100 degrees out and this is the perfect beer.

Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Fruity huckleberry aroma. Sweetish malty fruity creamy huckleberry flavor with some tart hints. Sweetish malty fruity huckleberry finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

Bottle... Poured yellow/golden with a white head that faded immediately. Aroma of berries, maybe like a wine-cooler. Definitely unique but not something I could get into. I had to drain this one, felt like it was giving me heart burn.

Poured gold with no head. Detect strong huckleberry and green grapes. Tart taste, watery, but enjoyable.

Bottle. Poured pale gold with thin fast dissipating head. Strong aroma of huckleberries. Tastes of huckleberries and a bit of malt. Actually seems overbalanced with the fruit. Tart berry finish then turns flat.

Tap @ Piper Pub - Pale golden color and clear with a very nice frothy egg white head. The nose is lovely with real fruit as opposed to that artifical fruit extract sweetness. Huckleberries and hints of spice. Unfortunately this one falls short on the palate and is quite lackluster. A very weak cream ale with biscuity pale maltiness, and finishes kind of flat and watery.
