From the brewer

Berries are everywhere in the Northwest. They’re in our pies and along our driveways, creeping into our yards and now, into our beer. Oddland Ginger Berry Brown Ale is its own hybrid variety, a satisfying brown ale brewed with three kinds of local fruit–raspberry, blackberry and boysenberry, and given the thorny touch of juiced ginger.

Who's been drinking this

Starts off tasting a lot like a raspberry ginger ale - not bad, but an odd flavor for a beer. Almost immediately you get a strong hit of dank, medicinal bitterness that lingers a long while. All of this contributes to more of an IPA feel than a brown ale. Still, it was surprisingly drinkable, although really, really weird.
The ginger and berry starts okay, but ends with an unpleasant bitter.
