Sea Dog Blue Paw Wild Blueberry Wheat Ale

Brewed by Sea Dog Brewing (Shipyard Brewing Co.)
Style: Fruit Beer
Topsham, Maine USA

It’s another typical wheat ale with fruit flavoring. In this case of course it’s blueberry. Heavy blueberry and wheat on the nose. Not bad aromas really. The flavors aren’t exactly up to par though. I don’t need to try this again.

Great blueberry nose. Very light with little malt. Small head which dissapated quickly. Tast of wheat and blueberry. Pretty nice all together.

A light copper color with normal carbonation. This beer is quite cloudy and hazy. One finger of head dissolves in a few minutes. Looks like light apple juice. A very inviting combination of a sweet blueberry and a mild, slightly sour wheat smell. Tastes like a wheat beer with just a little extra; like Middle Ages’s Swallow Wit, but with berries. Has the mild grain/wheat to ground it, and the berries nicely hit the top of the taste buds. I’m not generally drawn to fruit beers, but this is delicious. Has a nice wheaty -- but slightly sour -- aftertaste. Bouncy, fizzy feel. Deceptively thick-feeling considering it’s a light and wheaty concoction. It’s a very good brew, probably best for summer. (I had it on a freezing winter night.) Goes down smooth but with a nice, mild bite.

actually a nice beer, gift from a friendly bartender in orlando’s millers alehouse. was surprised at the blueberry taste and aroma because it was on tap, nice flavor, refreshing and although i wouldnt do it again, not a huge fan of fruit beers, would be nice on a hot day after the beach.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear gold with a bubbly and fizzy white head. Blueberries are immediately apparent in the aroma but fade quickly to a dry and stale wheat undertone. Flavor is mild blueberry (concentrate, not real) with a wet grass followup. Some grains and corn come through near the end. Could’ve used more blueberry.

I like the blueberry taste found in this golden beer. On tap at Yard House, smells of blueberries and a hint of floral hops. The smell is strong and you can tell it is going to taste fruity just by smelling it. Not bad.

Once again, another brewer who makes a blueberry beer that tastes like it used frozen fruit that has been icing in the back of the freezer for two years. Pick up a blue point blueberry lager if you want the real thing.

Pours clear gold with a small, foamy, persistent, white head and a slew of bubbles. The aroma is mostly strong blueberries with some faint wheat. The flavor consists of a light wheat ale, somewhat watery, covered in blueberries. The fruit is nice, but overwhelming. I think they should have made this a bit more maltier to balance. Not bad for a fruit beer though.
