Sam Adams Blackberry Witbier





















































The Boston Beer Company
Sam Adams
Blackberry Witbier
Boston, Mass.
5/10/2009, bottle, 5.5 abv

Smell

Berries (black I assume) and beer. A rather odd combination IMHO.

Appearance

A fine looking beer, considering it has blackberry juice in it. Small, almost non-existent head.
Taste

The taste was a combination of blackberries, beer and Robitussin. Not much carbonation.

Comments

I don't understand the need for this type of beer. I just don't get it. I guess they are trying to appeal to a certain crowd, not that there's anything wrong with that.

The type of berry used is the Marion Berry. Marion Barry was the mayor of Washington DC that was caught smoking crack in a motel with a ho. "The bitch set me up!" he said. Yet the fine people of Washington keep re-electing him.
