Mildly brown, slightly tart blueberry. As they go, not very extracty or overwhelming as the name might suggest.

orange amber with one finger head. strange artificial aroma. very thin, slightly acidic with obvious blueberry, but again, it tastes fake and strange. eh.

Not as good as I hoped, but better than it could have been. A bit too fizzy and sweet. Might be better on a hot day, but for now, not enough wheatt, too much blueberry. Missing body.

Bottle. Poured a reddish amber color with a smaller white head that was gone rather quick. Aroma was wheat, grass and blueberry notes. Flavor was grass and hay. Very weak and thin body. For the style not bad. Overall beer not the best. Light and refreshing.

Sampled this at Casanovas. Not a great beer, but by fruit ale standards I guess its ok... not even close to the beauty of the NG fruit beers.

Bottle. Clear pink/orange pour with a small white head. Nose is grain and artificial sweetener. Lighter palate. Taste is some blueberry and a big dose of grainy lager. Not great.

Tap @ Boulder Beer, DIA. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma and taste of wheat, yeast, blueberry, sugar. Thin body, soft carbonation. 130312

Tap at Boulder Brewpub, DIA.
Pours a hazy cheddar orange with a nose of blueberry and sweet candy. Flavor is vinegared blueberry with a light sugar finish. Average mouthfeel. Okay but not great.

12oz bottle pours copper with micro thin off white head. The aroma is grainy malts, wheated malts and a sense of sweet blueberry nuanced by table sugar. The taste is similar with a tiny beer oasis of grainy malts and wheat like beer notes amid a sea of sugary malts rolling into blueberry Kool-Aid (TM) with nanometer wide ribbons of fruity tartness around the edges. I don’t know. You must have to be in the mood for this “beer”

Bottle:   Clear amber, moderate foamy white head, few streams of bubbles, light lacing.   Pale nose of wheat malt (slightly mealy) and a very faint Blueberry.   I thought that when I got this I was going to perhaps experience the same Blueberry level as the Buffalo Bills Stout or the Marin Bluebeery, but nope.   What Blueberry is there is very minor.   Pale wheaty sweetness on the tongue, with an ever so slight hint of Blueberry.   For a wheat beer its fairly light, and as a fruit beer its almost non-existant.   Not bad, but a little dull.   Finishes too quick, but tiz fairly clean.

Clear amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma of mild blueberry, malt and grains. Taste of malt, mild blueberry and light corn. Hi carbonation and more like Kinda Bland than Kinda blue.
