If you’ve spent any time in the Northwest, you know our love of the mountain huckleberry. This tiny fruit feeds bird and bear alike. It also feeds our hunger to experience the robust land in which we live. From frigid stream and alpine lake, to soaring peak and high mountain pasture, the unassuming huckleberry is a welcome sight to all on the trail.

Tasting at Matt’s
Cloudy dull amber color. It smells like cheap blueberry jam. Nasty flavor, mashed paper with tannic and astringent berries, moderate sweetness, metallic final.
Disgusting.

It doesn’t look great - hazy, very dull, light brown. Not much head. The huckleberry is apparent on the nose. On the palate, some more huckleberry, but the base beer isn’t really here much. It’s thin, not enough sugar to carry the fruit. Not cohesive.Finish gets kind of harsh.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of artificial huckleberries and hazy biscuity malt. Flavour brings out faint huckleberries and hazy biscuity malt. Dry, artificially fruity, and lacking in any depth. Not good.

Bottle. Murky golden orange color with a finger of white head. The nose is faintly witbier with a pretty legit huckleberry accent. The huckleberry fruit loses some character in the taste, its sort of sour and lightly bitter. A little wheat and floral, but the fruit has become a little off. Not sure about this one...

Draft pour pint at The Collective Woodinville. Rating from notes. Pours a bright, clear golden color with no head. Aroma and flavor match exactly with an explosion of the expected huckleberry, and mixed berry alike. Berry flavor without the sweetness to follow. Very juice like. Decent beer overall.

Sweet berry aroma, but light enough to blend well with the witbier. Light bodied, fairly effervescent, sweet and fruity.
