Chateau Kamiya Blueberry Lager

Brewed by Chateau Kamiya
Style: Fruit Beer
Ushiku-shi, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan

A bright purple brew with a fuschia head. Looks like Welches sparkling Grape Juice. Obviously a berry scent but some wheat there too. (25% of grain is wheat). Tastes and feels like a cheap champagne, Andre Cold Duck comes to mind. It does have a fairly tart follow. Being it’s not yet 9:00 AM, this is like having champagne for breakfast, but at only 3% ABV, no worry about getting tipsy. They make a decent Helles but their Fruit Beer line up must be for the non-beer drinking ladies.
