Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Bottle, from variety case. Pour slightly cloudy light amber color with white head. Aroma is a fight between the blackberry and the citrus/spice/malt of a typical hefe. Taste is much the same, with the traditional citrus and spice first, immediately overwhelmed by the berry taste and wheat malt underneath. Berry finish lingers for quite a while, es
What a terrible beer. Pours a sickly off-peach-orange color. Cloudy and thoroughly unappealing. Aroma is a hint of blackberry and not much else. Taste was just awful. A hint of blackberry and some of the typical wheat beer flavor. There wasnt much good about this beer. I do not recommend it.
Good head that retains for a good while. Cloudy pour w/ a good fruity aroma. Taste is good that is not over powering as some fruit beers. Has to be one of my favorite Sam Adams beers. Recommend for people who arent avid beer drinkers.
