duff (5407), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England May 29, 2004 Tap@Moylans Brewpub. Pretty refreshing, Very light bosenberry flavour, light tart. Simple and innofensive. motelpogo (4124), Plzen, Czech Republic Aug 19, 2004 at the brewery. quite pale, generic berry aroma, tasted lightly of blueberry and a little of the lemony wheat beer base. pleasant enough Eyedrinkale (3115), Beer Town, New York, USA Jan 27, 2004 I have never seen a head explode the way this does. Liquid Pop Rocks. Light as a carbonaded boysenberry seltzer. It took 10 minutes to pour. Don't even think of drinking out of the bomber, unless you want to feel your stomach expand (trust me on this one). DarkElf (2681), La Jolla, California, USA Mar 9, 2005 Updated: Mar 12, 2005(22 oz bottle: $2.80 at Moylan’s Brewery in Novato, CA) What is with these guys? So many of their bottles are severely over carbonated. Despite a very careful pour, I still ended up with a complete glass of foam. Hell, there’s even an inch of foam topping the beer INSIDE THE BOTTLE now. I may as well go rate another beer and come back to this one after the head dies down. {Rated Abita Purple Haze} Okay, I’m back, and the head has receded to a very bubbly, quarter inch layer atop the beer. For quite some time, the frenetic rush of carbonation bubbles as they raced to the surface was quite a sight. Unfortunately, the wait wasn’t worth it. The berry flavor of this beer is lightly tart, and lightly sweet, but isn’t especially fruity and tastes artificial and plasticy to me. Since the berry is the overwhelming flavor, it’s hard to get past it. The wheat flavor in the background seems pretty standard. Mild hops bitterness isn’t especially noticeable until the finish, where it’s barely noticeable. The nose matches the tart berry and wheat flavor. The palate is (obviously) highly carbonated, and the beer is light to medium in body. Light golden color with a modest haziness on the early pours, but the final pour releases a good amount of sediment from the bottom of the bottle, so the beer shows lots of suspended particles. The foamy head is off-white, but with all that foam, there is no lacing since it just slides right down the glass, returning to surface of the beer. Not a bad beer, I mean, it’s okay, but if you’re gonna make a boisenberry wheat beer where the berry dominates, at least make it fruity.
