Well in my opinion this one did not turn out well, all we have is not a bad blackberry nose with a little blackberry taste.
Very thin in body more like a fizzy berry pop.

650ml bottle - I guess I'm doing the responsible thing and (potentially) enjoying this one at home.

This beer pours a murky, medium salmon amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly pale pink head, which leaves some decent pitted limestone cliff pattern lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.

It smells of rather fruity blackberries, bready and doughy cereal malt, a hint of stoney flintiness, and very, very tame earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a reduced blackberry fruitiness, some additional ethereal citrus notes, a damp minerality, and some still ephemeral earthy, herbal, and grassy hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-pleasing frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with a nice airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad at this point in the process. It finishes off-dry, the lingering frooty character predominating.

Overall - this sure delivers the goods, at least as far as the blackberry component is concerned, which makes for a one-trick pony show, as long as you like ponies, I suppose. Easy enough to put back, as I grow increasingly frustrated with my son asking for help in playing Plants vs. Zombies, and him not listening to my obviously sage advice.
