Oakes (6979), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jul 4, 2003 Light amber colour. Very candyish, artifical aroma and palate. Cloying, one-dimensional cough syrup. CaptainCougar (4664), Rockville, Maryland, USA Nov 16, 2002 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. hopdog (4654), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 30, 2008
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.
hopscotch (4591), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Jan 5, 2007 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. muzzlehatch (4424), Burlington, Vermont, USA Nov 14, 2001 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.
