12 oz bottle a gift from my daughter who bought a Sampler Pack. Nose is blackberries, light sweetness, and a slight tart twinge. Clear purple orange with a medium off white head. Flavor is lightly sweet and peppery berries without much tartness.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark maroon with a quarter finger of white head. Aroma of blackberries and grains. Taste is light sweet. Artificial blackberry flavor with grains and a little bready caramel. Mwdium bodied with a slightly sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. Enjoyable, but nothing crazy.

Pours nearly clear, bubbly copper-brown with a whipped tan head. Almost non-existent aroma....just a little grainy malt. Taste is generic "berry"...cheap, carbonated wine cooler-ish. Not tart, not blackberry,.....not much.

I guess BM is going for the niches. from a variety case. darker beer. no real blackberry smell. taste is not tart and I wish it were. they probably named this beer when it was an idea. quite medicinal. some blackberry in there but comes across like many other fruit beers. decent co2 saves this beer but there are so many other fruit beers out there that are so much better.

12oz bottle. Copper-amber filtered body. Thin, oily off-white head. A pretty straightforward fruit beer, a little sugary, certainly not worthy of the "tart" descriptor. Medium bodied, balanced, easy drinker. Not really good, not really bad, but pretty much what you’d expect from Blue Moon..more enjoyable than anything they try to infuse with hibiscus, chamomile, sage, ect..

12 ounce bottle. Blackberry Tart, really? If they want me to compare this to Raspberry Tart, they’re going to be pretty dismayed. Pours a dark copper color with a medium sized foamy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of tart berries with a bit of caramel. The taste is tart fruits with a mild bit of cocoa. Thin-medium bodied.

Pours purple-orange into a Sam glass. Pancake head crackles as it recedes to coat surface leaving spot lacing. Hay and summer fruit aromas. Thin with sweet yeast and caramel upfront turning to bready blackberry cobbler in the middle before a lasting mildly bitter seed finish.

Bottle. Almost imperceptible watered down fruity malt aroma - definitely no blackberry. Clear deep amber with a large off-white head. LIght sweet berry and malt flavor, no significant tartness. Light body and carbonation.

On tap at Texas Beerfest. Pours a cloudy copper with a small frothy off white head. The aroma is spice and blackberry. Thin mouthfeel with a blackberry and tart flavor with light dry finish. A good fruit beer from Blue Moon.
