Tap at the brewpub. Pours medium amber with a white smear. Very berry aroma. Med body/light carb. Mixed berry - getting black and rasp. Nice.

12 oz bottle purchased at World Market as part of their beers of summer mixed pack. 3 and 0 are notched on the label. Pour is a hazed copper dark orange with a smallish off white head. Aroma is sweet, mildly tart raspberry juice, along with some basic biscuit maltiness. Clean enough, though a bit flat and subdued. Taste follows the nose with a basic sweetish tart blueberry and raspberry juice paired with a straightforward biscuit cracker malt based ale. As with the nose, clean enough just a bit dull and standard. Palate is a nicely unfiltered medium body with soft fine carbonation and a clean mineral finish. Overall, decent straightforward beer with a mild raspberry and blueberry taste.

12oz bottle. Hazy brown-tan color. Thin beige head. Sweet artificial berry aroma. I can dig a good fruit beer, but this really isn’t that great. Medium bodied, easy and watery. The fruit character is straight up artificial, and not very enjoyable at that. The blueberry and raspberry tend to cancel each other’s subtle nuances away. An embarrassingly insipid beer, unimpressive. A little darker malt than your typical fruit beer, again doesn’t really work. Not horrible, but certainly not recommended.

Pour is a weird looking red with a small white head. Aroma is not very berry with just some sweetness coming through. Flavor is about the same. I get almost no berry just a syurpy sweetness that coats the tounge. This is not good and i think girls who like "fruity" beers would not even like this.

Amber and bright. Light fruity note. Kind of blueberry-ish fruity taste. Boring, but at least it’s clean, which is a bonus for a Tommyknocker.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright berry red color with a medium sized khaki head. The aroma was musty and off with a light berry undertone. The flavor was tart and tangy blueberry and other vague berries that turns a bit dry towards the long, tart finish. Nice but with notable flaws.

Weirdly orange brown with a pink rose hue. lots of rolling carbonation within but it does not have that bubble on the palate. Very unique aroma which is sweet yet almost repulsive and slightly volatile. On the tongue some kinda a berry is detected in there but it has a different flavor than anything I tasted as a fruit beer. Yes, there is a hint of sourness or lambic nay I say, but is is not really palatable sourness. Goes down but could not drink two of these in a row.

Pours copper with a good white head. Nose is of berries, ale and a soapy/watery smell. The aroma has the staple Tommyknocker mapple malt and this seems to really overtake the fruity aroma of all the berries. The mix of berries is noticable but remains hidden, and it adds a mouthfeel that reminds me of a sweet cough syrup. It’s a good ale, not to be confused with a fruity wheat.

A beer that sounds like a children’s cereal and looks like a sparkling wine. Great! Pours a pinkish peach color with an ultra thin white head that is gone immediately. No real lacing is evident. Fruity aroma. Light-bodied and crisp with a sweet fruit flavor of berries and Starburst. The finish is very bubbly and tart. I didn’t finish the glass.
