Taste Notes
4/22/2012 - lots of big banana esters. pink/purple hazy appearance, nice head, very effervescent. Slight sour note from blackberries on finish.Notes
4/3/2012 - transferred onto 3# of blackberries in secondary. Lots of pheonolic banana esters coming through. Hint of sweetness from the wheat? Subtle clove aroma. For the blackberries, I dunked them in StarSan (while frozen… won't do that again) to sanitize, then did a light crush with my hands, transferred them into the carboy and poured on all juice that'd come out during the crush. Racked the beer on to the top of the blackberries. Nice pink/purple color.
4/10/2012 - bottled. Low yield due to trying to leave blackberries and blackberry seeds behind. 4.14 g. Sampling had strong phenolic nose with a little blackberry aroma (less than I'd hoped for). Taste was classic hefe with a tartness at the end that could be the blackberries but also could be a developing sourness due to infection (I hope not). This one will be a real surprise once conditioned.

Fun!
by loyderingI made the mistake of adding clarefirm to mine (doh!) so it didn't get the classic hefeweizen haze. I racked mine a third time to get all the sediment from the blackberries out. Nice notes of fruit on nose and taste. Not overly fruity as some can be. Fun and interesting beer!
