I know what you are thinking, “I thought you said fruited beers are girly”. And you are right, fruited beers are girly. But because of Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, I have put my trust in them. The Blackberry Witbier had a banner printed on the carton that said “2008 Beer Lovers Choice Winner”. So what I have here is a different brew from a brewer I trust that has won an award. (but it’s fruited)
When I poured it I was a little surprised that it had such a light color, it looks just like their White Ale. Light orange and a bit cloudy. This is a pretty good looking beer. I could really smell the berry aroma and thought this tasting might be a bust. At first, I was reminded of the Cherry Wheat, but the more I drank, the more I thought I was drinking a wine cooler, with a head.Â
I don’t know how affluent this “Beer Lovers Choice” award is, but the only award I would give this Blackberry would be a big fat Raspberry. A real disappointment in my book. It might go well with cheese and crackers but you don’t want to break out the nachos or beef stick with this one.
