when i asked about this i was told by the bartender it was for girls and people who were pussies but he gave me a mug anyway. after being degraded a bit i drank the beer. it poured like a nice hefe, deep golden and cloudy with a decent white head. the smells is a powerful kick to the notrils from a berry attack. slight hints of that yummy wheat smell but almost all berry here. the flavor? same story, just like jimbo said, blueberries and raspberries all over the map, which to me was a different and good thing. it is very strong in the fruit department compared to most fruit beers i have had. the beer itself was light bodied and very refreshing, i think this is a late summer only beer but im not sure.

This fruit beer was basically the Ultimate Weiss with blueberry and raspberry added after the brewing process (unknown whether whole fruit or fruit flavor was used).

This fruit beer poured a cloudy golden color with white foam. The smell was dominated by a sweet blueberry aroma that completely overwhelmed the normal hefeweizen aroma. The taste was a very strong blueberry flavor with a lesser flavor of raspberry. It was a bit harsh, but with a sweet aftertaste. The mouthfeel was sweet and smooth with medium-light body and low carbonation feel. The berry flavors lingered. This beer was OK, but a bit too heavy on the fruit flavors.
