Reviewed from notes.
The appearance has a transparent yellow colored body that yielded a small fizzy white head that appeared for ten seconds and died. No lacing was left. Rapidly rising carbonation was seen.
The smell had a decent blend of the blackberries and the wheat, but nothing else.
The taste was exactly the same.
On the palate, well, hmmm....it was very light, extremely sessionable, and there was an extremely high amount of carbonation that was felt.
Overall, I like blackberries, but they seemed to be trying to \"blend\" it in too well in this beer. Being a \"fruit/vegetable beer,\" I thought they would come out a bit more. Still, I’m not sure if I would have this again.........??

Hellgelbe und klare Farbe im Glas, süßlich-fruchtiger Brombeergeruch. Der Antrunk ist etwas wässrig, aber süffig und sehr mild. Zum Hauptteil kommt eine deutliche Brombeernote hinzu, allerdings ist von dem Hefeweizen nicht allzuviel zu schmecken. Der Hauptteil ist neben den Brombeeren mild-süßlich, ganz leicht herb, es fehlen aber die typischen Kristallweizenaromen. Der Nachgeschmack ist auch ziemlich wässrig, außer leichter Brombeersüße und einem sehr mild-herben Bierton ist da nicht viel. Auf der Zunge bleibt fast gar nichts zurück
→ Die Brombeernote ist ok, aber der Rest ist kein Bier sondern fast Wasser! → Eigentlich durchgefallen, nur die Brombeeren retten noch etwas!
--> 7+12+1+4

Refrigerated bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours clear pale golden with small white head. Thin small bubble lacing, light body, light/medium carbonation, and light blackberry aroma. Taste is pilsner malt and a hint of blackberry. Boring.

Pours a cloudy yellow color with a medium thin white head that evaporates steadily. Short strings of lacing on the glass. The aroma is fruity with some wheat in the background. Light, effervescent body with flavors of yeast, wheat and of course blackberries. The finish is clean with a short berry aftertaste. Forgettable beer.

This wheat beer poured a crystal clear, light yellow colour with a very quick living, bright white head. To the nose there are scents of light berry citrus, perfume, dough and a little floral hopp. First taste was very weak and watery. Light on the carbonation, flavour of blackberry was very weak, floral hopps and a slight cheap perfume flavour. Finish is vry floral just like I just bit the head off a tulip. Too weak for words...
