Our newest ‘year round’ seasonal. We know that makes no sense! It’s seasonal because we use the fruit that is in season at the time we brew. This Belgian Blonde ale has fruit added during fermentation and is filtered prior to packaging. Our first brew of Area 151 was done with blackberries which gives the beer a beautiful color. The beer is ever so slightly sweet, but it balances nicely with a little pepper and Belgian ester on the finish.

$1.99 can from Whole Foods. Pours murky purple with a small off-pink head. Aroma is tart fruit - supposedly blackberry but I can't tell that by nose alone. Flavor is tart berry, green leaves, bread, cheap lager undertones. Lots of fruit - has a weird vibe to this.

Split a 22oz bottle. Poured a orange-copper color with a small off white head. Aroma was some blackberry notes, light yeast, sweet malts. Flavor was light sweet malts, a touch of Belgian notes and a bunch of blackberry notes. Kinda enjoyed this one.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours a clear orange-pink color with a thin creamy white head. Fair head retention. Aroma of tart berries and grainy malts. The taste is tart and sweet berries with faint bready malts. Medium bodied, too much fruit which leads to a building sweetness that is not welcome.
