Tap at Brewsters Alberta. Pours clear orange with a medium, creamy white head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is blueberry with straw and meal malt, pear and apple esters. Flavor is sweet malt, blueberry, and a sweet finish. Medium body and carbonation.

Pours a murky strawy copper with a nice white hat and sticky lacing. Aroma is of sweet blueberries and wheat. Taste is sweet artificial blueberries with some wheat and a very slight bitterness/sourness on the finish.

Generic pale ale with blueberries in it as a treat for choking back each gulp. Bitter water flavour, a stinging carbonated palette. Pale yellow colour and it’s nice to watch the fruit bounce around. Not worth it.

This was much much better than the raspberry. The aroma is quite pronounced and nice. Not a lot of flavour, but a decent fruit beer.

Pint on tap at Oliver Square location in Edmonton. Poured a golden color with small film on surface and very thin lacing. Aroma is primarily blueberries with some grain. Taste is lightly sweet with blueberries and a light hop finish. Good mouthfeel provided by lively carbonation. A fairly well done fruit beer.

Yellow pour with large frothy head. Aroma of blueberries. Taste was crisp with a faint blueberry taste. Not bad.

***Old Rating from a patio pint in the summer***. Served in a nonic type glass with a handful of real blueberries floating on top. Yellow / light gold color, no real foam or head to speak of. Nice blueberry aroma to go with the slight wheat smell. There is a full blueberry flavor, but without being too sweet or syrupy. The mouthfeel average, but as expected for a light fruit beer. Crisp finish with no sticky aftertaste that I have found in some fruit beers. A well balanced fruit beer.

Poured lighter yellow then I thought or expected. Bursting blueberry nose with definitie wheat....so far so good. Taste starts off straw like, holds this through till the end with blueberry mid-palate and something tangy, maybe tangerine? Lot’s of straw and I am simply not a horse. A pleasant finish with berries galore along with microbrew malto-sweetness. Light mouthfeel. Refreshing stuff, but of average quality.

Amazing wheat beer, reminds me of Northern Ontario summers, passed out in the blueberry fields gazing into the summer sky before the first snow fall. Do I have enough characters now?

Looks exactly like the Raspberry but with a blueberry! Big blueberry aroma (no surprise). Taste of blueberry is present as well as a decent match of hops. Not bad, but nothing spectacular.
