Bruz: I wasn't as excited for this one as I was the Oransicle (orange creamsicle flavor) 40... what is a "saskaberry" anyway? The label says it's made with saskatoon berries. Some sort of weird blueberry-like canadian berry, I guess. We'll just call them "canadian blueberries", because that's what they look & taste like. I like blueberry flavor beers too (I knew this from having had a growler of the Blueberry Ale from Blue Point Brewing Co. in Long Island). Initial taste was pretty decent, for a fruity beer, but I knew immediately that 40 ounces worth was going to suck - it always is with these wild flavors... it gets old after the midway point. I poured a bit into a clear glass to check the color & it looks like red wine! Thick too, leaving purplish-red residue slowly sliding down off the edge of the glass. Checked out my tongue & it was dyed purple. No real buzz, perhaps slight at best, at 6.8% ABV. I was forced to drink this fast, being on our way out the door to see Inglourious Basterds (that's the correct spelling people!) - not the best beer to drink fast, but at least it got it over with. Overall, 3.5/10 swills. Thanks out to crosman177 for this! |

9/17/09 itsdanko: Thanks to crosman177 for hooking this up. Cracked it and took a sniff... i wasnt looking forward to it. Took a nice chug and thought for a second... first thing that came to mind was grape soda, the excitement for this 40 was back. From there I started attacking the first 1/4 of the bottle. Once I got a little past there I started tasting the 6.8%... still didnt bother me at all.
A little more then half the bottle was gone and the 6.8 made a true appearance. I started thinking of a weak version of MD 20/20, so it was still easy to take down.... though the wonderful taste of grape soda from my first impression had vanished completely. Finished this one to the very last drop.... the buzz was suprprisingly low considering I've gotten nice feelings from a number of 5.9s. The "burps" were horrid, felt like I had just poured Mr. Bubble into saliva. Overall i'd give this 40 a 5/10, only because the buzz was barely existant. ![]() |

9/3/09 BigJandthe40: I got this from my man Crosman.. I hate sweet things and knew I would hate this 40 going into it, I cracked this after horse shoes with Sanjose and Big Frank and my Pops. Teams where me and SJ vrs Big Frank and pops, they took us 2 to 1...rematch to come... Once we got back to my place we craked this 40oz and let me tell you this should be on pancakes and not be drank as booze. Way too sweet and no buzz, after we finished this I felt like I was going to yank from all the sugar. I give this props for bottle/collection purpose only wouldnt drink this shit again and thats a fact 3 out of 10 for taste 7 out of 10 for rare bottle ![]() |
