Reviewed from notes. Poured from 750 mL bottle into a Guinness pint glass.
A: Pours a hazy gold with a thin white head and fairly low visible carbonation.
S: Light tartness, oak tannins, and some cracker malt. Minimal berry aroma, or fruit at all, other than the lemon-citrus Lacto character.
T: Lactic acid hit up front, then some cracker malts with a modest wheat grainy character. The malt develops more pilsner character as it warms. Some vinous and oak flavors then fade into a fairly sweet blackberry flavor as the tartness completely disappears - which was a weird experience, and one I didn't enjoy. The finish ends up reminding me of a poorly made blueberry wheat beer.
M: Light body and a bit watery. Moderate carbonation sensation, low alcohol presence.
O: This isn't offensive or anything, but the parts of the beer didn't seem put together as well as they could have been. Good concept, but I won't be having another.

Blackberry liquor and muffins in the nose.
More tart in the nose than the mouth.
Flavor: Slightly yeasty. More tart than sweet. Fine, mildly tart, lingering aftertaste.
O: My least favorite of the 3 beers I've tried in the Mother Earth Windowpane series.
