Snuck a two ounce sample from a friend. Red wine color. No head. Aroma is blackberry juice. Sweet at start but weird aftertaste. Glad I didn't buy but wife might like it. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle pour. Not horrible for a fruit beer made by ABInBev. Juicy and kool aid like, but sometimes that’s OK.

bluemooner (554) - East Bethel, Minnesota, USA - JUN 5, 2012
Pours a dark purple with a medium purple head. Aroma is very strong berry. Flavor is dominated by fruit, specifically berries and grape. Does not resemble a beer much at all; mostly reminiscent of grape or berry soda. Light body with plenty of carbonation and alcohol not very noticeable. Not good.

Another gem from match1112. 12 oz bottle into an over sized wine glass. A - Pours a dark purple body with thin light purple edging. Straight 4’Loko style. S - A pretty intense aroma of fake blackberries and a touch of vodka. Such a strong smell! T - How do people drink this? Sugar, sweetener, sugar syrup, black berry jam, and sugar cubes. Its so over the top, this taste like an alcoholic sucralose fruity blackberry bomb. Thick and syrupy. O - There are zero redeeming qualities to this beer. Its cheap and highly alcoholic, but you would have to break through a wall of artificial sweetener and defeat the inevitable headache to achieve any sort of buzz. Just stick with fruited vodka.

bbbeer (411) - Massachusetts, USA - JAN 23, 2013
Purple color with many bubbles. Aroma sweet and fruity, inoffensive. Light body, carbonation. Sweet flavor. Bit of alcohol. Flavor is I guess blackberry at least by the power of suggestion, not completely artificial tasting but not entirely natural either. More alcoholic soda than beer.

berrya785 (395) - Kansas, USA - MAY 6, 2012
Aroma is blackberry and spice. Pours burgundy with a pink head. Flavor is very sweet blackberries. Tastes like a fruity soda.

Taste like grape soda, honestly not that bad. Probably does well on college campuses.

MarkSachon (333) - Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 10, 2013
12 oz bottle for The Beerhive in Pittsburgh. Overly fruity without the proper nose. Still, the taste is not bad and I imagine this would be even better during the heat of the summer.
