A thin-bodied North American style wheat. Metallic in character. Soft fruity nose. Moderate head, hazy pale purple/pink. Pretty light weight stuff. Berry melange, not much wheat.

Ok bought a can at the LCBO in Ontario 473ml at 5.2%.
Poured a 2finger head into glass oh wow the color pink interesting.
Lots of Berrie flavors but not that sweet which makes it very refreshing and enjoyable to drink going down nicely
Overall a very different infused with flavors of berries in this beer .
Easy to drink at 5.2% goes down like 4.5% maybe .
I like it
Cheers

Pours almost purple coloured with a 1cm head of pink. It smells like the preserves my grandma used to make. Lots of berry flavour, blueberry blackberry raspberry, but the roadside variety, not the store bought type. Having said that, I still can taste the wheat beer background. I was pleasantly impressed

473 ml can served cold into a pint glass. LCBO purchase for around $3.50 CDN.

Appearance - pours a purple, red brew with a finger plus of very light pink head. Pretty decent head retention and very little lace left behind.

Smell - loads of berries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries by the smell of it. Hints of banana too.

Taste - Kind of like the nose, but more muted. Definitely not on the sweet side, more earthy and fruity, but not sour either. Wheat throughout, and some bubblegum and bananas in the aftertaste with a general berry fruitiness.

Mouthfeel - Medium light-bodied, expressive carbonation and smooth finish. Pretty highly drinkable.

Overall - A solid fruity wheat beer, that is fruity enough to be noticeable and distinctly wheat based as to hits those objectives. While not a brew I'd likely repeat as the berry flavors and wheat beer combo don't really work in my mind, there is nothing objectively wrong with Wild berry Wheat so it remains a quality brew.

473 mL can from the LCBO; dated 05/06/2021 and served at cellar temperature. No ingredients list, so I'll have to guess which berries were used*.

Pours a foggy, translucent pinkish amber colour, its body loaded with effervescence; seated atop is nearly two fingers of puffy, foamy, pale pink-tinged head. It lasts for the better part of five minutes, eventually whittled down to an eighth-inch cap and collar of suds - looks as you'd expect a 'berry wheat' to look. Smells fruity and maybe a little tart on the nose - I suspect blueberry, blackberry and raspberry, with maybe some strawberry in there too; I'm also getting ripe banana notes and wheat breadiness.

Not bad at all - mild to moderate flavours of blueberry/blackberry at the forefront, with some raspberry juiciness coming through by mid-sip. These berry notes are layered atop a bready, wheaty pale malt sweetness, with a hint of banana also coming through towards the finish; more banana, blueberry and wheatiness reverberate into the aftertaste. Medium in body, with moderate carbonation that gives a little bit of crispness to this brew's otherwise smooth, soft, somewhat fluffy texture. Very easy to quaff - having a few of these in a row would be no trouble at all, especially on a hot summer's afternoon or evening.

Final Grade: 3.84, a solid B+. While I generally prefer regular wheat beers over fruity ones, Lost Craft's Wildberry Wheat doesn't overdo the berry element, which (naturally) suits me just fine. A little sweet, a little juicy, with excellent balance between the base wheat beer and the berry flavours - this brew deserves serious consideration if you're a fan of American wheats, or of blueberry beers in general.
*Note: After reviewing this beer, I did some googling and discovered that the berries used are blueberry and raspberry.
