Commercial Description:
Amber Ale brewed with Wild Maine Blueberries.
An amber ale brewed with all natural ingredients, including real wild blueberries and wild blueberry juice from the State of Maine this beer has a light crisp body and subtle wild blueberry aroma and taste, but is not sweet like many fruit beers. These characteristics have made the beer popular with all age groups, especially young adults and make the beer a popular part of many beer cocktails and mixed beer drinks. For instance, many people enjoy the beer as a part of a “Black and Blue;” an alternative to a “Black and Tan".

Light amber colour. Very candyish, artifical aroma and palate. Cloying, one-dimensional cough syrup.

An average beer with a great blueberry taste. The fresh Maine blueberries would be better accented with a more distinct and less carbonated pale ale, yet Blu Creek is one of the better fruit beers I have tried. Re-rate: Tried alongside Sweetwater Blue and found this to have much more character and flavor.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with CaptainCougar (thanks!). Poured a medium and hazy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. As soon as I popped the cap off this one, I could smell blueberries. Aromas of blueberries, a little yeasty/crustiness, and Welch’s Grape Juice. Tastes of blueberries and grains.

Bottle... Hazy light amber ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head and floaties galore. Blueberries, black tea and a subtle note of beef stock in the aroma. Well-balanced, but thin with moderate tanginess. Light-bodied and dry with lively carbonation. Crisp finish.

Nice dark-amber color, with little head; I was a bit disturbed by all the big bubbles flowing up from the bottom in a way quite reminiscent of soft drinks; Nose is the best part, blueberry cobbler mixed with gingerbread! But this is spoiled by a slight medicinal tinge, and the flavor goes downhill with way too much carbonation, though the blueberry cobbler taste is still present, with some nice malts. Gets a bit weak at the end, except for that cola-like bubbling! So-so.
