Nice peppery smell, 4oz sampler from the brewery. Can taste the berries and a nice bite of pepper. Mmm!
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20 AgentAle (1168) - Alberta, CANADA - JUL 19, 2014
Aroma is a fruity sweetness akin to dark berrie with a bitter peppery finish. Light sulphur abd slight sourness. Taste is a light sweet maltiness that is met with a fairly well balanced tarty bitterness that doesnt linger too long. Appearance is an orange / gold cloudy body with a thin gold head that retains fairly poorly.

Pours a lightly hazy amber color with a small fizzy white head. Aroma of sweet berries, biscuit and a light bit of spiciness. Taste is light malts mixed with fruity berries and a bit of a sour finish from this odd berry. Needs more body and all around flavor. Aroma
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 canuck_j (80) - Lethbridge, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 5, 2014
Sour berry tartness in the nose with an underlying sweetness. Fruity bites from the yeast? and a no apparent hops in the nose. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a thin white head. Has a malty sourness and a soapy character in the mouth with a reminiscence of a wheat beer. Sour fruity berry, not quite sure what berry.some tartness in the finish. No apparent hop character in the tax rote. Somewhat light bodied, yet slick on the Tongue. Overall, an ok fruit beer better enjoyed on a hot summer night than one fifteen below.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 TheRatKing (122) - Alberta, CANADA - OCT 6, 2013
Out of a tasters pack into a Trappist chalice because I am too lazy to get up and get a more appropriate glass. Pours a slightly hazy amber colour, minimal head and fizz, which may be because it is a bit on the old side (people who frequent that particular liquor store are there for the cheapest swill money can buy.) Its also a reason I dislike twist caps. Nose is weak, due to lack of effervescence. and because its a lager. Slightly fruity nose, but hard to say. Flavour is rather good; nice fruity/sweet opening, slight bitterness on the back-end, though not enough to really make the kind of balance I prefer. Still, decent flavour; Id enjoy it as a hot-weather beer without complaint.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 bulldogops (1155) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - MAY 27, 2013
341mL Bottle. Clear golden pour with a weak white foam. Aroma is wild cherries. Crisp mouthfeel dominated by sweetness and berries, pepper lingers into the finish, dry. Very strange indeed, but not bad.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20 Narnad (1507) - Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA - MAR 8, 2013
Pours a slightly hazed golden color with a very thin white head. Aroma has a strong tart, lightly sour, very acidic berry nose, extremely hard to describe as it doesnt smell like anything I know of. When drinking this brew, the flavor is so strong that the bitterness of the berry can be felt while pulling the brew in your mouth. As the initial acidic, tart flavor grapefruit subsides, light notes of blueberry and very light sweet tropical fruit finish it off. The malt and hops really dont come through at all. Body is modest and the perfect density to hold this strong flavor. Light tartness to the brew and a modest amount of dryness at the finish. Overall a very enjoyable brew as its probably the first fruit beer that wasnt overly sweet. The strong acidity of the fruit really works well with a beer. Wish I could grab more for the upcoming summer months.

This beer was lousy my second beer from Ambers that was sour so sour it was generally awful. I really enjoyed the Kenmouth Road choclate stout but after having this and the vampire sap. Dont really know what I think about Ambers products.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 toddomundo (10) - Alberta, CANADA - DEC 10, 2011
Bottle poured slightly cloudy pale golden color with smallish head. Aroma of berry -not much of the pepper. Taste is refreshing - some berries and malt with a very mild hops (IBU cant be more than 20). Clean finish and overall, a nice refreshing beer.
