I was surprised by this beer, but I have to say that I enjoyed it. I think it leans a bit more towards a lambic with as much fruit and sweetness that it has. My idea of a weiss would be a bit more subtle in flavor.

I did find it light on the palate and refreshing. Overall I wouldn't drink this everyday, but I find it to be a very enjoyable "summer brew".

I say the appearance is good...it's rose color is a bit different than anything I've seen.

The smell is somewhat average as I don't get a strong hint of any beer ingredients...but I do smell the berry.

I liked the taste...although it's much sweeter than any weiss I'm used to.

The mouthfeel was good, I thought. It was still very light and balanced. It was refreshing and crisp.

I rated this pretty good on drinkability mainly because I personally liked the flavor and it is light enough of a beer (not filling) that I could sip on it all night.

Overall I found it enjoyable, but I know this wouldn't be for everyone.
