On tap after the brewery tour. This is a blueberry wheat. And not that great. Pours cloudy golden. Seems to have lost the wheat characteristics, and really all that is left is a bland ale with some blueberry flavor.

Drank from the tap at the brewery. Aroma is of a blueberry muffin. Taste is lightly carbonated with hints of wheat and a light amount of crisp blueberry flavor. Refreshing aftertaste.

Cask Stillage from the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 26/09/2009 Big fruit aroma. White head. Golden coloured and a little hazy in appearance with a blueberry fruit flavour. Crisp and slightly dry floral finish.

Tap, Pours hazy golden color with a nice blueberry scent. Taste is rather simplistic and a little blueberry and not much else. Not the greatest blueberry out there, but not undrinkable by any means.
