  • Purchased from Tavour recently. Date on bottle of 12-10-2025 with the bottle stating it is a 2026 release.

    Pours clear. Purple, like Barney. Limited, light purple foam with large bubbles that dissipates as quickly as it pours. No lacing. Effervescent.

    Aroma is sweet, acidic berry, hay, and hints of barnyard. Sweet and acidic berry delight explode the sense but are well balanced. Hints of wine on initial bottle crack.

    Taste is acidic throughout. Not as balanced as the aroma. Almost one-sided. Some sweetness, hay and berries find their way in the middle, parting ways into the finish with a swell of avidity.

    Surprisingly light body in spite of the small bubbled effervescence that is present in abundance. Dries the palate with lingering acidity framed by berry sweetness.

    A very interesting beer. Not as complex as I would have liked. The aroma and color are fantastic but let down some by the flavor and thin body. I would have this beer again. Enjoy!

Beer Notes
  • pFriem’s Caneberry Cuvée is a blend of wine-barrel aged tart farmhouse ale, matured on Oregon grown marionberries, blackberries, red raspberries and blackcap raspberries. Tart, jammy and bursting with flavors of ripe berry pie.
