Jan 4, 2008 Hey! Another old rating that someone finally entered in the system, Thanks to KP for that I believe. I really should start writing down more info on beers at these festivals. Anyhow, sampled at Brewgrass 2007 (I think). Hazy amber pour with a light head. The aroma, though light, smells like blueberry pie (crust and all). The flavor of blueberry is there but it is more like taking a bit out of a blue berry bush than just the blue berries. Fruit, twigs, and bark anyone? A spicy hop twist accompanies. Semi-dry mouth feel with a medium body.

Oct 28, 2007 Draught. Pours a deep strawberry color with a thin head. Let me just say I was very skeptical upon trying a "blueberry amber" ale. The aroma is quite nice though. Strong natural blueberry is present with toast and grapefruit. Smells like a fruit salad. The flavor is a little different with less pronounced blueberry and more citrus present. This is not overly sweet or like an alcopop at all, like I was worried. It has assertive grassy, citrusy hops to back up the sweet blueberry flavor. All the qualities of a solid, hoppy American amber are here. It’s a quirky, weird tasting beer that is not for everyone, but I liked it.

Oct 22, 2007 on tap-pours a retaining foamy off white head and amber color. Aroma is blueberry, musty. Taste is blueberry, musty, metallic/plastic hops. Jay said came close to ruining this, so added fruit, so I’m interested in re-rating from a future batch.

hazy dark amber, fine beige head, streaks of drippy lace,
huge booberry aroma with lots of sweetness but held back by a light blueberry skin tartness,
sweet malt flavor, lots of blueberry, the tannons from the blueberry skin add a tartness the balances the sweet, a bit of the underlying caramel malt adds depth, the finish is from the blueberry tartness
