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 Nate (3326) - Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 1, 2013
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.

Notes only; bottle from the Beer Store in Southampton. Blueberry/strong sour/tartness, but a mild artificial flavoring.

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 Bacterial (410) - Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA - APR 11, 2013
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?
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 b3shine (2229) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - APR 6, 2013
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 portableparty (1596) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - MAR 23, 2013
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 mcberko (4046) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 21, 2013
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.
