light amber, frothy white head and lace, lots of carbonation, whole blueberries rising and falling on the carbonation like a lava lamp, sweet blueberry aroma like blueberry pancakes, light ale with a definite blueberry character, not too sweet, no bitterness

crystal clear light yellow with blueberries that sink and float like a bad lava lamp flashback, fine white head, huge sweet blueberry aroma, light body, light blueberry flavor on a slightly sweet malt base, light bitterness, not too much blueberry flavor or sweetness but not too much character either, but the blueberries are fun to watch and munch on

Sample from tap at the brewpub in Canal street. Pours hazy brown but still light enough to look through, looks a bit strange and far from inviting. Off white head. The beer has floating blueberries. Aroma is heavily dominated by blueberries. Flavour is rather watery with only a vague note of blueberries. Mid between sweet and dry. Finish is watery.

Tap@Beer Works, Boston, Ma. There actually blueberrys in the beer! Ha. Anyway, this is a pretty average beer. Tastes like lager with blueberrys. The good thing is that its not too sweet.

(draught) If I read other comments, somebody mashed my fruits... Fully hazy dark amber, good white head. Citrussy, fruity nose with a perfumey odour that is actually remindful of blueberries. Unfortunately, the taste is both perfumey and harsh, as if a chmeical component was used as blueberry-ester. Malts get overwhelmed. Medium bodied. failed somewhere along the line. Good try, pity about the outcome.

on tap and garnished with a small handful of blueberries-pours a foamy blue/white head that laces. Slightly hazy pale yellow/pale pink color. Aroma is blueberry. Taste is a light beer grain with blueberries.
