Refreshing, light and slightly tart but never sour, this wheat beer is infused with a bushel of flavor. Red raspberries, blackberries and boysenberries collide with the perfect blend of hops and malt for a sweet, crisp, rose-colored ale that’s so easygoing, it lets bygones be bygones.

June 12th, 2016 - A summery beer for our paintable June summer day, a gentle cloud of fresh berries arise from the brew, mixed and middled with a light cream smell for richness. The flavor is very pale, though, with just the lightest touch of berry flavor, and a base note like a watery saison.

My wife and sister in law ordered these. I sampled on a hot day. Surprisingly good.

Hazy, grapefruit pour with almost no crown.
Sour cherries and vinegar nose.
Malty ale with berry rhapsody at the background. Medium carbonation.
Overall, fruity easy-going ale great to drink on its own or paired with desserts.

A rosy, peach color spews from the bottle, forming a body of the same. The head is a solid 1 finger and doesn't go anywhere quickly.
Aromas of pink moscato, wine vinegar, and fermented berries. Much like a sour ale.
Taste is empty, providing little flavor outside of some rind and watered down Arbor mist...like crushed ice melting in the glass with it. Some sour mash and grain finishes out the profile.
Feel is light, yielding to a wine like dryness.
Overall, a pretty weak ale. Wait...was this a beer?

Sprite bubbles rise through the hazy pale pink body, unable to keep alive the fizzy off-white head. Nose displays lots of fresh, tart, sweet fruit; mostly raspberries, some watermelon. Flavor is watered down, but still has those fruit flavors and some mild sweetness. No beer notes, which is a shame because something should really fill this gustatory void. Body is light, sugary, fizzy.
If only the nose carried over to the flavor, this would be a refreshing, if sweet and simple, beer. But the flavor dropped off, leaving only a watery, fizzy, juice-like beverage, but otherwise devoid of flaws.

Blood orange color and hazy. Nearly no head but it was a gentle pour. Some ring lace. Spots thereafter.
Mild aroma of pale malt and blackberries.
The blackberry is the most notable flavor. I don't get much wheat on the tongue. High carbonation with a moderate body. The swallow leaves a coating in the mouth even though this isn't very sweet.

From the 22oz. bottle into a Weizen Glass:
Rose pink with a two finger off-white head that settled to a thin foam.
Raspberries on the nose. Blackberries and boysenberries follow across the palate.
Moderate carbonation but somewhat flat mouthfeel. Very slightly tart, sourish finish.
Would have liked more tartness and a more vibrant mouthfeel. Tasty and refreshing nonetheless.
