3.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20UPDATED: NOV 1, 2012 Bottle purchased at Castle Vav. Poured into my Portsmouth tulip. Beautiful color on this, pours a light plum color with about two fingers worth of light pink head. Good head retention. Nose is composed of a combo of blueberry, yogurt, feet, and cheese, with cheese being the prominent theme. It reminded me of Peg’s Cantina’s Double Rainbow Jelly Donut from the berliner bash. Flavor is light blueberry, yogurt, and lemon. There is a good amount of lactic sourness and just a hint of cheese as well. Flavor is decent, not spectacular. Light mouthfeel, light to moderate acidity, somewhat slick or oily, and a moderately long finish. Good first effort at a berliner from Pipeworks. I think they got some room to improve, but these guys seem intent on perfecting their recipes so I look forward to the raspberry and peach berliners they have on the horizon. FWIW, I didn’t get any of the diacetyl people were talking about.

Bottle of ’the good batch’ at James’s 4k/5k/10k tasting. Pours a soft purple hued garnet with a thin white head. Cheesy blueberries, musk and a bit of funk. Funky, sweet blueberries, soft musk. Cheesy, chewy blueberry skins, gentle tartness. Tasty.

Pours pretty pink for blue lady. Lacto, blueberry and wine notes. I need more characters
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: MAY 3, 2013 (750ml bottle) clear, bright red beer. White bubbles. Nose of butter, blueberry, pancakes, bread and sweetness. Taste of tart blueberry, lightly Tart, artificial butter, weird, infected. Odd beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a very thin body with a head that recedes to nothing instantly. Bretty aromas with a mouthfeel that follws in slight barnyard sourness. Very crisp, dry. Sessionable. A light funky brunch with blueberry pancakes and blueberry Berliner Weisse
0.8 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 1/20
WOW! Smells like the trash can at a Blue Cheese Eating Competition. Straight up stinky cheese, vomit, sour milk, poop, and gym socks. First time a beer has ever made me gag from a smell. Taste had a tinge of berry and lemon that were immediately CRUSHED by gag inducing vomity cheese. This beer is an atrocity on epic proportions. Just now seeing that they actually recalled it which is a very good thing. How anyone that has had batch 31 can rate it higher then macro lagers is completely insane. My kitchen drain still stinks this morning have DP’ing this thing and then pouring liquid plumber down it.
0.6 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
Fucking wretched, rotten blue cheese, Jesus fucking Christ this is horrible awful
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Batch 51 bottle. Pour is quite striking - deep reddish purple with a medium pink head. Like a cross between red wine and rose wine, except carbonated. Aroma and flavor are subtle with light sour notes, faint hints of berry, and faint sweetness. Quite effervescent. This is very drinkable and very good looking. Flavors are all very subtle.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle shared by a friend. Pours a pinkish-amber color with a medium fizzy pinkish-white head that evaporates steadily. Spotty lacing. Aroma of berries, wheat and funk. Light-bodied with a mildly tart fruit character and notes of wheat and yeast. The finish is fruity with a berry aftertaste. Decent overall.
2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
750ml bottle via trade batch 31. Clearish ruby amber with a fizzy light purple head. Aroma of blue cheese, sulfur, gym socks and light blueberry. Flavor is acidic berry, sharp cheese and lactic acid. Light body with active carbonation. Ew, such an odd aroma, really gross, taste isn’t as bad but you can’t help but smell it on the way up to take a sip. Drainpour.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle - Batch 51. Buttered popcorn aroma. Slightly hazy rose with a large pink tinged head. Tart watery blueberry and diacetyl flavor. Light watery body.
