12 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 12/10/2017. Pours slightly hazy medium golden amber/light orange color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Slight spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lightly tart/tangy blueberries, fruit skin, lemon, pear, green apple, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, light pepper, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast, blueberries, and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart/tangy blueberries, fruit skin, lemon, pear, green apple, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, light pepper, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy blueberries, fruit skin, lemon, pear, green apple, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, pepper, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, blueberries, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/tartness balance, and zero puckering flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tartness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, and bready/grainy/acidic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.3%. Overall this is a nice fruited Berliner weisse. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, blueberries, and bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the mellow tartness/acidity. This was not as lactic or bold on the fruit as I was hoping for; but really well balanced and flavorful for the ABV. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is lime and cream. Smells like key lime pie. Flavor is a whole lot of lime tartness. Like this was surprisingly tart. Finish does have some bready pie crust. This was a total gimmick beer but it kind of works. It smells and taste just like key lime pie, its just a bit to tart for my liking.

Pour is a hazy golden with a small fizzy white head. Aroma is a nice big raspberry. Not much else there but the raspberry was nice. Flavor is more raspberry with some tartness either from the berries or souring of the beer. The raspberries tasted super fresh. I like this one over the blueberry offering.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a small fizzy white head. Aroma is some blueberry, it there just not a huge amount. I also get some wheat malt and a little lactic acid. Flavor is again a minor blueberry with a sharp tartness that hits you but then goes away quickly. This is ok, I wish more of the blueberry showed up.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a deep brown to black with a small tan head that dissipates quickly. Cocoa Puffs on the nose, bit of cream. Well-balanced with more cocoa puff cereal, touch of bakers chocolate and peanut butter. Quite solid.

On tap at Grizzly’s. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of tart lime with graham cracker underlying. Flavor has a strong tart lime with sweet grains and graham cracker growing.

This beer far surpassed my expectations. Boring amber color but lime in the flavor and lightly tart lime in the flavor, some malt body, and a lime aftertaste. I have had other lime beers but this might be the best.

A little thin on flavor, but before a gig it's nice and light for a stout.

Can. Coppery gold body with a mostly white head. The aroma is light, but has some citrus, pine and earth. The flavor is a weird sweet/bitter mix. Syrupy mouthfeel. Not my kind of DIPA.
