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.

From Bottle

Poured copper, 1/2 inch white bubbly head. Aroma of Blueberries, malts, and slight hops. Carbonation good. Flavor very sour, and hoppy. Fruity in the aftertaste. Little bit of alcohol warming, nothing overpowering. Medium mouthful. Bitter in the middle of the brew as it warmed. End of the brew was surprisingly smooth and crisp, the hop bitterness seemed to just disappear and more of the blueberry flavor came out. Overall, I wouldn’t get this again. But I was curious about this "Blueberry Ale." I didn’t like this brew. I actually thought I wouldn’t be able to finish it, intil I decided to give it one more try and I noticed the overpowering bitterness was gone as the brew warmed. Although I have had better fruit beers.

Amber pour medium head with some spotty lace. Grains and blueberries on the nose. Blueberry flavor seems forced by using syrup rather then fresh. If that is the case its ashamed since it is made im Maine

12oz bottle, purchased at the brewery. Poured medium amber, a bit hazy, topped with an off-white head. Aroma of blueberry, malt, wheat, and perfume. Wheat and floral perfume flavor, with some blueberry, white pepper, earth and malt. Finish is somewhat astringent.

It was like breakfast in a bottle. Yum, but don’t over due it or you’ll look like that girl in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
