Beer of the Weekend #1,151: Triple Berry Pie Wizard
The beer of the weekend is Triple Berry Pie Wizard, brewed by the Confluence Brewing Company of Des Moines, Iowa.
Serving type: 16-ounce can. “CANNED NOV/20/25” is printed on the bottom.
Appearance: The beer is a deep raspberry red. A lighter raspberry-colored head fizzles away evenly, leaving a collar and broken skim.
Smell: Fruity and sweet. Lots of berry goodness. It is a mélange of dark berries, though it seems like marionberry is most prominent. It is a thick, syrupy aroma.
Taste: Much more sour than sweet—which should not be a surprise. It is a berry mélange and nothing really stands out. It is more like a Sour Patch Kid than a piece of pie, though there are hints of pie. Lemon zest is also present. The tartness leaves the taste buds tingling after each sip.
Fun facts about TBPW:
• Style: Fruited sour.
• Price: $17.99 for a 4-pack of 16-ounce cans from John’s Grocery in Iowa City.
• Alcohol content: 5.4 percent ABV.
The Quiet Man’s grade: B+.
