Commercial Description:
Light, crisp and refreshing, Blackbeary Wheat is modeled after the spontaneously fermented "Lambics" of Belgium. Real blackberries added to the fermentation contribute a subtle fruitiness to this Summer Quencher! Available May through August.

Some may think i’m biased but I tasted this beer two summers ago in the adirondacks on lake champlain. Last summer I picked it up again near the lake and drank it all weekend. I’ve been drinking it since. I don’t like many fruity wheat beers but this one is the best. It can almost be considered a light beer and goes down like champagne with a touch of real blackberry taste left over. Most of the other fruit beers seem artificial, yet you can tell fresh blackberries were used in the making of this one. I highly recomend this to anyone who has had bad luck with other fruit flavored beers. It will change your mind.

light golden color aroma- strong with hints of blackberry’s and hops taste- good mixture of hops and slight aftertaste of blackberry which leaves your tongue tingling Little to no head but what head there is is a white and disappears after a couple sips It seems that Long Trail may have changed the recipe since the release cause i didn’t used to like this beer but not love it.

Nice berry aromas and pours a clear light gold with a small white head. Smooth sweet taste of berries with subtle wheat lurking in the background. Knocked it a few points for it’s lack of overall alcohol content and being more berry flavour than wheat. Still a very nice beer though.

This beer has a nice hoppy smell with a nice golden color to it. As you drink it there is a smoothy taste almost fruity on the palate. you get the best of both worlds with this beer a fruity and weat beer at the sme time.

12 oz bottle. Pours a medium yellow color. Aroma is not very noticeable, maybe a hint of berry ? Actually tastes pretty good. Thicker than their regular hefeweizen and really crisp, although I don’t taste the blackberry. Underrated.
