4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/2025oz bottle at Gingerman NYC kindly shared by RamyG4. Pours hazy purple with a thin white head. Aroma is of blueberry and raspberry with a hint of peaches and citrus. The blueberry is not overwhelming in the taste and the beer is tart but balanced, really well controlled. Really lovely beer.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pour is reddish purple with a thin head and purple tint. Nose is heavy blueberry, faint raspberry, and some oak and light vanilla. Taste is a bit cough syrupy blueberry, assertive oak presence, light mint in back. Touch of tartness. Lighter body, heavily carbonated, fairly dry finish. Simple, not super bright, ok.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From bottle at HOTB. Mild funky notes with predominant notes of blueberries, fresh and musty aromas. Light tang and medicinal funk. Dark blue-reddish hazy with thin pink lacing head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Starts and stays tart with lots of berry flavor. Musty and bitter with blueberry sour finish, light chalky acidic after. A bit of BandAid in the after, but not bad.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Notes only; bottle from the Beer Store in Southampton. Blueberry/strong sour/tartness, but a mild artificial flavoring.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a murky blood-black color with a medium sized foamy light pink head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweetish berry, biscuit and a faint herbal presence. The flavor was very tart and sour blueberry, cherry pits, and a dry and astringent herbal presence. Long tart and sour blueberry finish. Medium body. Interesting.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is a fun beer! Beautiful slightly cloudy purple pour with a light purple head. Nose is intense - blueberry is pretty intense, but it is proceeded by something tart / sour. Portableparty suggested ’wet cork’ and that might be it. Its something funky and oak-ish. I really like the nose on this. Taste is just a touch tart, complex and just a hint of blueberry in the finish. A fun beer for sure - lots of yeast on the bottom, could be an interesting one to age?

750 ml to oversized snifter (shared with the Mrs.; thanks watson1977). Looks good; a cloudy blueberry with fizzy light pink head that quickly dissipates into lacing. Smells good too; tart, oaky, and a little funky with a nice blueberry backbone. Tastes like it smells with a nice, lively mouthfeel. Good stuff!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours purple red in color with a soapy lavender head that settles to a spotty film and collar. Aroma is tart lightly funky wet corks and blueberries. Taste is yeast watery and light tartness with blueberries and oak some malt and musty finish. Palate is thin fizzy and crisp with a dry finish. Pretty nice beer, but was hoping for even larger blueberry flavors.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
750mL bottle, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks a lot, Dany), pours a cloudy vibrant reddish amber with a small beige head. Aroma is huge on blueberries, with not a whole lot else. Flavour brings out blueberry, perfume, some acidity, and moderate oak barrels. The blueberries are not sweet at all and the perfume cuts down on he blueberry. Overrated, but decent stuff.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hazy dark reddish pour with an off white pink pour very attractive color ... aroma is amazing and of sugary, tart and blueberry with a light funk .... taste is light and tart with a blueberry and dry funk to it ... sadly light on the body, and berry soda like ..... if the taste matched the aroma this would be a 4+ brew, but its still a very nice brew
