This will leave you scratching your head until it's bloody and raw. The aroma is all blackberry. Well, maybe some raspberry, but you get what I'm getting at. The palate is APA - lots of cedary hops, robust bitterness and a lightly toasted malt backbone - nicely balanced. Then it finishes up with those berries again - which actually works quite well, as the combination of hop bitterness and juicy berry fruitiness makes for a hell of a refreshing pint. I honestly don't know if there is actual fruit in here or not - it could just be a really distinctive yeast. At any rate, this is quite hoppy by Ontario standards and a landmark for Mike Robinson, whose other beers are very skipable.
