Fruited Berliner Weisse, with added amounts of raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, blueberry and a glob of pie crust to our classic Berliner to achieve that perfect balance of flavors that make the Very Berry Pie our favorite type of pie.

Poured from the can into a tulip glass, sure why not!

Fluffy topped light pink and heading to a mix of white and pink color in the mix. Styrofoam like top with a bit of snappy sounding bubbles, with a somewhat murky body. The body color sort of streams to a mix of purple to pink and some mix of murky swampy brown strangely, making for just a weird looking hue on the eyes I must say.

Aroma is fairly pleasant. A real good fruity mix that is kind of neutral between sweetness and acidic sour quality. Berried fruit that doesn't come off with a dominant kind, but does play with characteristics of the added ingredients. There's just fairly a hint of graham cracker.

The palate brings some real interesting angles. Excellent tart flavor, real nice hints of blueberry and strawberry mostly, with just enough body in malt to push through. There's a faint hint of pie to graham cracker sweetness but doesn't get the beer into overly sugary or gimmicky. Real nice sourness with some depth, sticking to more of a classic fruited beer then a pastry or extreme smoothy.

The added sense of graham sensation seems faint but adds much to the flavor of the base fruit for a richer experience. Quite a nice take on a fruited sour.
