Samuel Adams Blackberry Witbier
A: Cloudy amber with active carbonation. A dense dirty white cap starts strong, but doesn't retain for very long. Leaves no lace. S: Heavy on the blackberry syrup out of the gate. In the back are the aromas of biscuits and lemon. T: Starts out with a sourdough biscuit quality. The blackberry from the aroma quickly fades into the background, but stays throughout the experience. It has an almost Kool-Aid like flavor. A tart lemon bitterness provides balance. Finshes very dry, with lingering fruit flavors. M: The grainy body has a nice level of carbonation. D: This beer was OK, but not great to me. The syrupy fruit flavor didn't really work in my mind, but the beer was somewhat refreshing.
