Reviewed from notes.
Thanks Doug. Growlette share.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy muddy brown to purple color with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head began and then slid nicely into the beer. Sly messy lacing.
The aroma, obviously had the blackberry, smooth sweet with a light tartness to it. Some sweet wheat to balance.
The flavor balances nicely between the sweet to the tart, fruitiness to malts to a light bitter hoppiness. Light sweet to tart aftertaste with a quick tart finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Soothing carbonation feels good.
Overall, great blackberry ale that I would have again.

Draft at the Reservoir - Waterbury, VT. Pours clear copper with a white cream crown. Bready malt nose with accents of caramel. Medium sweet flavor, bready, with slight candi sugar and low bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. OK balance on the finish, with more bread and toasted sugars. Fine, just a bit simple.

On tap at The Reservoir, Waterbury, VT.
This was poured into a mason jar...hmm...I dig the creativity of the establishment, yeah well, here’s the rest.
The appearance was a moderately dark red color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light lacing sliding into the beer.
The smell had some roasted nuts along with some caramel malts and then a light piney hoppiness running into some light toast.
The taste was a nice combination of bitter pine hops sliding into the toast and caramel malts. There’s a nice semi-sweet to bitter piney to caramel aftertaste leading on into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly smooth allowing the bitterness to make it nice.
Overall, this was a really nice Amber ale that I would have again.

Light amber red. 1 finger head. There’s salt on the rim of the glass. Smells pretty rough. Not a fan of the nose. Taste is like a red ale with a sourness. Very astringent.
