You've never seen a Blackberry HeiferBison before? This rare creature can be a little shy at the beginning, but once you get to know them, their charms are undeniable. Sweet blackberry hints mingle with the wheatiness of a refreshing hefeweizen. Do yourself a favour and pour the HeiferBison into a glass, because the colour truly needs to be seen to be appreciated.

Decent summer beer from Phillips - something new and a bit different. Shocking cloudy red that looks like a blood orange and a frothy pinkish head.
Surprisingly, the smell is mostly wheat malt. Slightly bitter-sweet, with a very low hop character. The blackberries lend a somewhat sour taste to it and scent to it.
The blackberries are a bit more noticeable in the flavour, but still the wheat malt is quite noticeable. Could use a bit more tweaking, but not bad. Quite decent considering how widely any blackberry beer can vary in terms of taste.
Great summer sipper, not quite a session but maybe....
