Since these two bottles came out at the same time and enjoyed on the same night, I wanted to review them together. While they’re entirely different styles, might as well not take another line in my SQL database to have two separate posts. This isn’t HuffingtonPost :)

375ML Bottle. AirForceHops picked this up for me. Thanks dude. Enjoyed at 45F in stemmed bulb glass.
A – Deep ruby red / purple appearance with some yeast floaters. Pink bright head that fades slowly.
S – Nose is great. Plums and Blueberries have a nice color but aren’t known for their nose. I’d say its reminiscent of very weak and less tart raspberries.
T – Wow. Impressive taste. The plums are more apparent than blueberries. Sharp acidity in the middle with a bursting tartness. Fades pretty fast and doesn’t linger. The wheat is not huge and there’s very little acidity.
M – Jammy, sweet, nice wheat backbone and sweetness. Balanced bottle conditioning and a bit effervescent.
O – There’s a lot of flavor here considering it’s a 2.9% beer. that’s what’s most amazing about this beer. How much Dave was able to cram into such a low alcohol beer.

UPDATED: NOV 3, 2013 750ML bottle. Bright gold with 1 finger white head. Sticks around. Nose is orange peels and a touch of sulfur. It has an up front rotten egg taste. Sorry Dave. Lots of melons and oranges. Brett is there in a leathery way. Very dry. Lemon zest finish and also grassy. The sulfur nose and taste is a turn off. Everything else is great.Update: I opened a second bottle and the sulphur and eggs are totally gone. Much more fruity and juicy on the nose and palate. Mouthfeel and appearance are obviously unchanged. Bumped the review up.
