Long Trail Blackberry Wheat

[TheBEast]

So I've got some friends that really love this beer, but I can't really stand it. Why do you like it?

 

[RootDKJ]

For me, I actually enjoy the flavor, a lot. I also really like the Hef

For me atleast, Blackbeary wheat goes down very smooth with a finish that for my taste buds has a GREAT balance of sweetness/bitnerness. It's one of the "core" beers that I keep stocked in the beer fridge :beer:

 

[RootDKJ]

Damn it DrJeff....you're making me very thirsty

Root, its the least I can do given the number of times you've caused me to make late night snack runs with Orion TR's! :lol:

I love my Long Trails, but this is perhaps my least favorite of the lot.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I like it because it's good and I can drink alot of it..I'm sure I could drink an entire case of it in one sitting..

 

[RootDKJ]

Here's another way of looking at it.

Michaelob Ultra - 99 calories. I can drink a case of this shit and hardly get a buzz
Blackbeary Wheat - 125 calories. If I drink a case of it, I'm not going to work the next day.

I'll take great flavor and a quick buzz over saving 26 calories per bottle.

There's a reason why Mich Ulta is 99 calories.

We're up in the Colorado mountains one weekend, and leave out on the deck:

1 12 pack of Fat Tire

1 12 pack of Michelob Light.

1 12 pack of Michelob Ultra

Guess which one of the three froze solid in a matter of 2 hours.

Goes great with a bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel before skiing.

Too light for me. Most wheat beers are on the lighter side. I'd be more inclined to drink them in the summer. Winter is for heavy beer with lots of calories to keep you warm.

hell yeah..I love beer with breakfast..last week one of my Blue mountain ski buddies wanted to try out Blackberry wheat so I brought two and we both pounded them at 740AM when we were booting up..

I don't like Dark beers anymore except Guinness..

It's basically fruit juice with a bit of alcohol mixed in. Not a strong beer by any stretch, but it ain't just for breakfast anymore.

New Years weekend I consumed the better part of two cases of Long Trail Blackberry wheat...no hangover..now I'm in get skinny mode so limiting my beer intake..

 

[BigJay]

Don't care much for it...

I prefer the Belgian White or the IPA from Long Trail...

I had a bad 6-pack of Belgian White this summer... Tasted awful. Long Trail stood behind their product and sent me an 8$ check to get another one.

Great customer service!

I bought so much Belgian White for spring skiing and trough summer, they're getting they're money's worth!

 

[frozencorn]

Yeah, the IPA is the goods. However, after having so much of it recently, it was refreshing when I met a friend at a Pats game and he brought along the flagship. The classics don't go out of style.

Unless we're talking No. 9, which I like, but not a fraction of what I think of Roxy Rolles, Lucky Kat, Jinx, and hIPA. (RIP, Blind Faith)

When I walk into the Long Trail Brewery, they pour me a Hefeweizen without me asking.

 

[RootDKJ]

Since I'm on a pretty serious weight loss regimen, I emailed LT today about the # of calories the beers are packin'

Blackbeary Wheat is only 118 calories per bottle
