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.

12 oz bottle from variety case bought from Brewer’s Outlet (Butler Ave)...pours deep amber with a big frothy off-white head...smell of blueberry, malt, fig...taste is thin, sweet of blueberry and mild hops...I’m not huge on "fruit" beers but what I thought was decent about this one is that the blueberry is not overpowering.

Nice blueberry aroma, some iced tea, and a touch of sweetness. Pours an amber tone with a big fizzy head and some chill haze. Nice blueberry flavor that is more real than fake. A little malty sweetness. Some earth, and dirt in the finish. A little too fizzy IMO.

I do not like fruity beers, i do not like fruity beers... ok, this one is ok, but I would not call it fruity. Sure, it smells like blueberry eggo waffles and there is even a violet undertone in the amber color. but i found it to be a decent ale. acceptable bite, good flavor (but little yummy aftertaste). Try it! It’s from Maine.

Bottle from lumpy. Fake warhead blueberry nose, and blueberry pancakes. Tastes like blueberry water and old berries. If you really like blueberries this could be your thing. Me? I like the little red sour ones.

Bottle ’’thanks’’ to Lumpy. Pours with a white head that goes and a clear amber body. Aroma of bluberry, maple syrup, blueberry crisp and something raw and a bit of corn. Taste is corn, metallic, with some fruit. Fizzy...

A real surprise. Was reluctant to try a blueberry flavored beer. Very sweet/tart smell and slightly hoppy. Tasted sweet and slightly hoppy. Not so much like blueberry, but fruity and tart. Aftertaste was good as the flavor hung around for a few seconds. Not a beer a would drink all the time, but I am glad I finally tried it.
