May 30, 2008 750ml bottle acquired in trade with hoppymeal (thanks!). Bottle # 228/1005. Poured a medium to deeper and muddy reddish/purplish/brownish color with a smaller sized head. Aromas of lots of different berries (strawberies, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries). I would get a different berry every time I sniffed. The berries were done nice! Tastes of the same berries with some light rye bread in tehre as well. Light tart finish. Good thing I like all the types of berries in this one.

Aug 5, 2007 MiBGF 07: Reddish copper hue with a small fading head. The aroma has notes of biscuity and buttery malts, fruity berry vapours, earthy yeast aromatics and a tad phenolic. The taste has a weird blackberry and cherry twang supported by grassy hops and a medical cleaner finish. Just not digging this and the experience reminds me too much of DFH Fort! (Oh, where is the Blueberry, I did not get any of that here). The mouth feel is lively and aggressive with a sharp bite and warming finish.
WTF!?!? Something just was not right about this beer, the only beer at the fest I dumped out. YUCK! A huge disappointment from a brewery I really enjoyed last year.

Mar 31, 2008 Thanks for sharing a bottle, Weepie. The body is deep ruby with a slightly pinkish head. The aroma is very fruity with all kinds of dark berries. There is also a pancake note. The taste is vineous with blackberries and burnt pancakes. A fairly dry finish with a taste like sucking fruit pits. Good for those that want a dry fruit beer.

May 1, 2008 750mL bottle at DLD thanks to Yaniv! Poured deeper, hazy brown with a well-retained cap of white head. The aroma picked up lots of darker spices upfront with mixed berry tartness not far behind.. dark and most certainly intriguing. The flavor had lots of blackberry tartness with rising dark spices and alcohol warmth toward the back.. grainy berry seeds ride out the tart, lengthy finish.. tasty! Tart and effervescent on the palate with a dry, grainy back-end.. well-balanced and I really enjoyed the berry component.

May 6, 2008 750ml bottle. We tried this at a tasting side-by-side with a growler of Soft Parade. Darker and hazier than the Soft Parade. Purple-brown in color with a thin white head. Aroma was of blunted berries and some white paper. Tart on the tongue, and not as dry as it’s cousin beer. Still fairly dry, though. The body was lighter than I had expected. Nice mix of berry and delicately sweet cereal grain flavors.
