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.

Pours a light amber with a small beige head. Aroma of blueberries. The flavor is sweet malts and blueberries, not bad, refreshing.

A nice blueberry beer; nicely balanced with a nice malt and barley backbone. Not too sweet, but with the taste of blueberry seed a decen amount of hop. Good summer brew.

Great tasty beer. Truly very blueberry flavoured and is from maine so thats great. Its light and sweet, yet not overpowering. Tasty as can be when your in the mood for a light fruity but not too sweet brew.

Dark gold, light brownish with too many bubbles and an ephemeral head. I can smell the blueberries before the glass even leaves the table- slightly sweet and also blueberry-bitter. Upon arriving at the nose, I’m getting little else, though some subtle almost bitter malt (perhaps a slightly older bottle?). Mouthfeel is as thin as can be, with too much CO2 to boot. The flavor is first somewhat borderline acrid/accerbic owing to the natural tartness of blueberries maybe? There’s some subtle sweet malt that lingers dovetailing with the presence of hops at the very end. This wasn’t as bad a beer as I ended up rating it, however, I can’t justify bumping up the overall any higher. My feel is this should be maybe a 2.8, but I just can’t find a reasonable way to get it there.

Wow, this sure does smell and taste like blueberries. Orange/gold color, a good deal of carbonation. Blueberry is the strongest element, but theres a bit of a sweet maltiness in the aroma, and some citrusy flavours.

Bottle. Pours reddish brown with a small head. Overwhelming aroma of blueberry. Flavor is that of a lager with some blueberry... not bad, and in fact got used to it by the time the 6-pack was gone.
