Anchor Brewing Blackberry Daze IPA

**Aroma:** “Fruity sweetness dominates. Slightly earthy, spicy, funky character. Light lemon soap aroma with ginger. An oddly earthy, almost cheese-like or mushroom-like character.” **Flavor:** “Sweetness is profiled and carries notes of moderate malt and lemon citrus. Lemon and ginger. Fruit character balanced by medium bitterness. Earthy, spicy notes help balance and supply a dry, graham cracker finish.” **Overall:** “Very enjoyable and refreshing. Interesting choices of ingredients. Good balance of sweet citrus and earthy hops. If you like beets, you’ll like this beer. Spices could be crisper.”

Aroma: Medium lemon pledge and light strawberry. Light hints of sweet orange citrus followed by low graininess. Flavor: Tastes like an artificial sweetener. Like a liquid pez. Not a lot of bitterness. Does have some lemon flavor. Very low malt. Despite it tasting like candy it doesn't actually have a lot of sweetness. Finishes medium dry. Overall: An odd flavor for a beer. Needs less lemon.

__Aroma:__ “Jam-like berry aroma jumps out followed by a slight cherry note. Touch of black pepper phenolics and citrus notes, light acidity, light wheat notes. Slight malt sweetness is similar to a Berliner. Bright acidity comes through. Reminds me a homemade jam aroma.” __Flavor:__ “Raspberry, blackberry, and cherry jump out, providing some nice berry sweetness without being too sweet. A slight tannic tartness provides a pivot point for the sweetness. Lemon-like tartness provides some complexity. Very refreshing, light, and easy drinking.” __Overall:__ “Fantastic beer that highlights a jammy character that really shines through in the aroma and flavor. Acidic tartness gives it a bright flavor profile. Easy drinking with some complexity from the fermentation schedule, kettle additions, and fruit. Refreshing, sweet, fruity, and tart without any one of those characters being too powerful. Fun easy-drinker in the sun, maybe even make some frozen margaritas with it.”
