Bottle, light hazy light brown colour with some rusty streaks, fruity aroma with some caramel notes, flavour of caramel with some dried fruits that add a note of sourness. Quite drinkable but nothing too exciting.

Bottle, slmost no head whatsoever, murky light orange colour, aroma of bubblegum, candy and some spicey touches, almondy flavour with bubblegum and some fruitiness, pleasant sour fruity aftertaste. Nice true to the style weizen.

12 oz bottle $2.25 purchased @ Julio’s Liquors in Westborough, MA. Used a lager glass. Mahogany wood color with thick head that shrank to a thin layer. Light lace. Light malty aroma, German malt for sure. The flavor is also on the light side. Roasted malt, caramel, and light burnt nuts. This isn’t going to… “WOW! You” or anything but, it’s a solid example of the style and has nice basic aspects of malt and nuttiness. Good flavor for a dark lager.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a dark red-tan color with a large foamy beige head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was light tangy sugar and vague berry. The flavor was tart and tangy with a vague berry and sugar presence. The finish was medium length berry and sugar. Medium body. Disappointing.

No head or lace. Awesome hazy, un-filtered gold color. Loads of bubblegum and fruit nose. Smells great and the taste follows exactly what a hefeweizen should be. Light carbonation and had a bit of tart finish. Very nicely done hefe and would drink anytime. Very strong effort from an American brewer of a fine German style.

NEW: had again, not quite as good as the first but still pretty good. OLD RATING:Yes, this stuff is a vivid cluster when poured, pink almost gushing foaming little globules in cloudy pour, quite a sight! Clean berry aroma. For taste this stuff almost comes off as a wild yeast. Could almost say this is near lambic, berliner or sour. Tart backbone with a medium pleasannt fruity feel. Very interesting texture on the palate. Very good fine sizzle to the tongue. Much better than most fruit beers. May I say again this brew looks deliteful in the glass when poured, very active an asthetic. Well done, hope they can duplicate this in the next batch.

On tap at Bites & Brew. Big beautifiul pour, took 5 minutes to do it. Black and nitro thick with a nice foaming appearance, like a good guinness; haven’t seen one like this for a while. Really somthin to look at. No hint of choco in the aroma, just a clean olfactory, perhaps the foam is abating the smell. Stoutish taste but again no hint of chocolate or if there is I can barely detect it. A little leather in the background. Fairly mild and goes down quite easy. Yes, a very friendly stout, however; even tho its styled as a sweet stout here, its more in line with a stout or dry stout. Nice finish and overall good dark beer experience, very little if any associated bitterness.
