Beer Works Bunker Hill Bluebeery Ale

Tap at Fenway. Pours a wierd violet tinged golden with a thin head that diminishes- they threw in some blueberries into the glass. Aroma is like a fesh baked blueberry muffin at first, but then it goes south- tons of solvent and fruity high ferm temp esters. Flavor is artificial like, crackery and reminded me of some fake cereal like frankenberry or fruit loops. Harsh astringent and solventy finish.

On tap: Light golden in color with very little head and a few blueberries floating in the glass. The nose is crisp and gives off scents of crisp blueberry. The blueberry is less noticable in the mouth but still aparent. This is a crisp and refreshing beer that would be quite easy to enjoy during the summer.

Pint at Boston Beer Works Logan Airport Terminal C. I’ve been excited to have this beer since I saw it on the American beer documentary years ago. Pours gold orange with a tan head that gets purple from the blueberries taht float in the glass. Nose is very nice. Tastes a bit like a pale ale with blueberries added not really much going on here but the taste and overall experience is stellar and very unique.

4/20/2008: Beer Works Blueberry Ale tastes like a farily generic beer with some suble bluebeery flavor. It is quite light (light amber color and light body) and average at best. The only saving grace is that it is not overly sweet and the blueberry tastes somewhat authentic (floral quality) rather than a completely artificial blueberry syrup quality. It also has a mineral quality in the finish and aftertaste. For the record, I am not against fruit beers in anyway, but this one does nothing for me.

Draught at at Beer Works (Fenway) in Boston, MA. Rating #52 for this beer...

Ordered pint and lliked what I ordered. Blueberries in the aroma and REAL berries in the beer. Very light beer with a pretty nice flavor profile.
