22oz bottle purchased directly from brewery. Poured a cloudy dark yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was light citrus, mostly malt character with plenty of bready yeast notes. Very drinkable on some of these very hot days.

Got a glass of this at the brewery right before it kicked. Lucky me. Pours a hazy purple color with a thin wispy white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of berries, citrus and tart wheat. The taste is dry wheat and tart blackberries. Medium bodied, high carbonation.

I believe this is the base beer for the Virginia Blackberry and Strawberry beers, and frankly the base beer is much better. Pours a hazy lemon color with a medium sized creamy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of bread, spice and herbal notes. The taste is wheat, citrus, spice, floral notes and herbal hops. Medium bodied, creamy texture. Nice beer.

Poured draft at brewery and also in 750 corked bottle. Poured a nice hazy golden yellow-orange color with a nice fluffy white head.
Aroma is nice citrus hops with a good malty balance and a nice Belgian yeast character to it.
Crisp and refreshing, but it does pack a bit of a wallop in terms of the alcohol as it is highly drinkable.

Draft at source. Poured a rich dark brown, semi-translucent brown. Aroma is full-on bourboun. Flavor is nice, sweet malts. Smooth bourboun. Alcohol was lower than listed here, so perhaps different barrel treatment.
