Handwritten notes: Double-you tee eff. They put a bunch of blueberries in this one. In Manitoba the taste would be "Saskatoon" berries (ironically enough, not Manitoba berries). Reminds me of tooling down some dusty backroad with my grandparents, ice cream buckets in hand, off to pick Saskatoon berries. My grandpa couldn't remember my name most days, but he took us down some winding highway, this way and that, to where he knew there were great Saskatoon berries 30 years ago. Amazing. But this beer is another fruity piece of business from the Leinie family. Just make beer, guys.
