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 clear ruby brown with minimal head. Nose is very faint with berries...but I am not sure if I am getting blueberries at all. I do get a slight metallic edge. Flavor is hoppy with a metallic tone and not really much berry action going on. Is more sugary and syrupy than anything. But no real blueberry stuff going on. Feel is a bit thick with typical carbonation. As a blueberry brew, I have to say this is not drinkable. Where is the blueberry?

Bottle into glass. Vey slight blueberry aroma. Flavor was a nice amount of blueberry, doesn’t hit you hard like some others, just enough there for you to enjoy, but not get sick of.

Bottlle. Amber in color with a nice head. Artificial sorta of smell that is not that great. Taste is not to bad and hints at the blueberries. Aftertaste is also not great. Overall not too bad.

They’re definitely not lying when they say this is a blueberry beer. Since I’m not a fan of blueberries I cannot rate it very high. Nothing great about this one, but nothing awful either.

Bottle. Aroma was of fresh blueberries and light malt. Very well balanced brew of berries and malt. Very light hop finish. Pretty decent.

Amber colored, medium head which disappeared very quickly. Aroma is more gingery than blueberry, and tastes more like ginger ale (to me), than blueberry. Still a decent taste, however.

Amber color with a nice white head. Smells like a blueberry muffin however the smell is artificial. Goes down easy. Lighter ale with the slight blueberry taste which is not bad but the aftertaste is not that great.

Draught at Duffy’s Tavern. Pours light amber color with one-inch white head. Served too cold and in a frosted glass. Pretty strong Blueberry Shortcake nose (like those dolls from the 70s). Tastes like the blueberry has left the house! Slight wheaty aftertaste is all that’s left. Thin and watery. br brire-rate closer to its place of origin.../i Draught at $3 Dewey’s, Portland. Bright copper color with small off-white head and some scattered lace remnants. Fresh aroma of the wild blueberries that grow up here. Lots of pie. Crust and filling together. Fizzy mouthfeel. Some hop, not as soda-pop as I remembered. Tart, sweet, and bitter as in seed. Not vibing on it but overall a nice blueberry: flash of blueberry here and there, lack of sweetness but also of complexity.
