Location: Draft at Spitzer's Corner, 12/29/12
Aroma: This one has a light nose of sweet malts and yeasty notes, the blackberry is very subtle
Appearance: It pours a clear reddish color with a small head and some light lace
Flavor: The flavor is mildly sweet, and pretty exactly what you'd expect from the nose
Palate: This one has a light body to it, feels somewhat watery, and has a fizzy carbonation/finish
Overall Impression: This was kind of an odd one. It was a blackberry wheat without much blackberry or wheat. It's not terrible, but it is rather light, thin, underwhelming, and just lacks much of a punch of any kind.

At Spitzer ($6) (I did not buy this my friend did, even after I told her not to and then she proceeded to regret it afterward): Anyway, it pours a hazy amber peach color. Darker than would be expected. White thin head. Aroma of fruit. Blackberry not distinct. Kind of watery. Fruity. My friend thought it tasted like popcorn jellybeans. I don’t think she was that far off. Better than other blackberry beers I have had, but nothing exemplary.
