1 of 5 variants offered at the tasting room last night.

A: Pours a hazy pinkish red with a trace white head at the rim.

N: Faint berry fruits with wheaty notes.

T: Blueberry flavors very faint but present. Base beer is also faint.

M: Light body and carbonation. Berry and soft wheaty finish.

O: While not sweet in and of itself, this is the least tart of the 5 variants offered. Ranked #4.

On-tap at The Bruery, a special July 4th beer,

A: It looks like pink grapefruit juice. Similar looking to White Zin, soft white head, a tropical look.

S: Mostly get the lactic sourness and funk, the blueberries are quite light in the nose itself.

T: The fruit is not overdone here and lends nice subtle characteristics to the flavourful Berliner Weisse base. Moderate blueberries, lactic acid, and lemons form the main flavour, a good balance between everything going on.

M: Smooth and refreshing from the vibrant acidity, very easy to drink.

D: This was a great refreshing beer on a hot summer day, the very low ABV allows one to enjoy this beer in large quantities. I think it would make an excellent healthier substitute for sugarfied pink lemonade in the summer if it were widely distributed, but it looks like a one-off for now.
