This American Wheat beer is light, crisp, and decidedly fruity, thanks to the addition of over ten pounds per barrel of Blackberry Purée. Flaked Oats provide a soft texture, while the citrus aromas from American hops mingle with the flavor of the Blackberries.

No ratings since 2014? Well, I guess this is a new batch or people have been staying away due to the low ratings... On tap at Vine Street. Pretty pink in color with an aroma of soft wheat bread and blackberry. The taste is crisp wheat plus tangy blueberry in the finish.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a subtle nice semi-dark brown color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute.
There was some light lacing trickling around the glass.
The smell had some blackberry with a grainy / wheaty sort of aroma with just a slight apricot and peachiness underneath.
The taste was mainly sweet but had a slight bittersweet flavoring of the apricot and peaches (can apricot and peaches be bittersweet? ), not really.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat sharp but still subdued and sitting exactly where it should be for the style.
Overall, Mountain Sun, where have you been all my life? So glad I was able to sample this.

Tap at the Vine Street Pub, Denver. Poured a dark reddish amber with a thin white head. The aroma is crisp dry yeast. The flavour is a weak sour with a watery blackberry acid palate.

Draught at Vine Street. Dark purple color. Berry and flavor with some American wheat beer flavor and yeast. It is ok for what it is, a light, refreshing fruit beer.
