Commercial Description:
A light fruit ale, made with Maine wild blueberries. As opposed to many of the sweeter fruit beers on the market, our addition of fresh Maine wild blueberries in this light ale yields a subtle blueberry aroma, without the sweet aftertaste. A mixture of the following Mutton malts, pale, crystal, and Munich, are combined with wheat to give this ale its lighter body, and we only use minimal amounts of Target and Willamette hops.

Not a fan of this style. Amber color with no head. Powerful aroma of blueberries. Some blueberry taste, but mostly wheat taste, Light and anjoyable. The best of an blueberry beer I’ve had yet.

Amber color. 1" head. Pungent blueberry aroma. "Did someone just club me with a 20 pound blueberry?" Must have knocked me silly, b/c I couldn’t taste much at all after the aroma. Somewhat empty citrus flavoring, a little tart. 1-note wonder that abandons all other facets of a good beer as most fruity beers do.

Light-hazed copper body with copious carbonation under a fizzy, cream-colored head. Blueberry and wheat aroma strikes me as a blueberry Eggo waffle, with a mild bit of tart citrus behind. Flavor finds a mild cloy... blueberry syrup on pancakes, only thinner. A sour finish lingers. I was half tempted to ask, "Well... what do you want from a fruit beer?", until I answered my own question with, "Well... I want something drinkable." Drain-poured about 1/3 of the bottle. ~~~~~~~~~ Bottle of unknown origin.

transfering from notes. Bottle from coopers. Poured an amber color with a small head that didnt last long. Aroma is strong blueberry that didnt smell fresh. Lots of blueberry taste but also some malt sweetness. Ehh

Poured a deep amber with a small head. Smelt like a blueberry muffin. Had light flavors of blueberry and some malt, and was pretty thin. Overall it was a decent beer, and it wasn’t overly sweet like most blueberry beers are. LC

Not a bad blueberry ale. Not as sweet as the rest. Had some great barbecue while drinking beer right at the brewery. Highly recommend a visit to this nice micro brewery.

Copper color with quick diminishing white head. Aroma is kind of metallic with blueberries. Flavor is best described as minerally, herby, grassy, with just a hint of blueberry. Thin mouthfeel, lightly hopped. Enjoyable but not great.

12oz bottle 4/10/09-Pours a clear medium amber body with a small ring for a head. Aroma of blueberries. Taste of the same with a little malt. This light bodied brew is pretty weak in blueberry but would work great on a hot summer day.
