Bottle pours light range with a thin white head. Aromas are blueberry and sweet grains. Tastes are light sweet train and fake blueberry flavor. Too sweet for me. Also too much blueberry.

Bottle with Pat. Pours a grapefruit orange, well carbonated, aromas and taste of corn, lager, some berries, finishes like a regular beer with a slight champagne quality. Artifical and weak.

THOUGHTS: Nothing special. Not even for a fruit beer. Nice blueberry aroma, but the flavor was a little off. Watery hints of sweet blueberry than all tart blueberry and pale malts. Got a little more interesting as it warmed and started to seem almost like baked blueberry in a pancake or muffin. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, pale, slightly orangey yellow with a huge, white head that mostly diminished and left good lacing. But on the final pour the beer was murky, brownish orange. The aroma was mostly blueberry. The initial flavor was slightly sweet, sour and bitter; while the finish was lightly sweet and light to moderately sour with a short duration. There was sweet blueberry, then tart and sour blueberry much like blueberry muffins or blueberry pancakes, and some pale malts. The light body was a little watery and then dry with tingly carbonation and not much of a finish.

Pours an opaque amber color with a medium white head that has a faint hint of purple to it...light sediment throughout. Aroma has some earthy, wheaty notes and definite blueberry. Flavor follows suit with a very slight tartness and blueberry that isn’t sweet. Mouthfeel is lively and super thin...finish is a bland and dry berry taste.

Pours a deep amber with an ever so slight hue of blue, a very thin head which disappeared quickly. Slight blueberry taste, malts come through as well as a touch of a cidery aftertaste. Refreshing brew.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of blueberry and some malt. Poured amber in color with a tiny, white head that disappeared except for around the edges. Cloudy. Sparkling. Full of small-sized particles throughout. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of blueberry and grain. Light to medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Blueberry grain finish.

12oz bottle. Pours out a nice purple tinged copper color with a lively off white head. Aroma is of sweet and tart blueberries and light malt. Taste is much the same, decent balance of the flavors with some light spice and grain.

12oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear, light golden colored body with a finger-width, fizzy, off-white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is pretty solid with very fresh blueberries and a light pale malt sweetness giving it a bit of a blueberry pie smell. Some wheat in there too with just the slightest hint of tartness. Flavor is pretty similar. Fresh blueberries balanced with a light wheat malt and a light tartness that is a bit more distinct than the aroma. Not quite as blueberry pie-ish as the aroma, but still pretty fresh tasting and pleasant. Finishes clean and dry with a light tartness and light crisp wheat before leaving a medium length aftertaste. Light body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a very easy drinking, pleasant fruit-wheat beer. The blueberries aren’t artificial at all and they smell/taste very fresh. The light tartness is nice and the light wheat provides a solid balance. Definitely not the most complex beer, but very enjoyable and solid all-around. Nicely done.

12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy dark orange body with a small fizzy white head that faded to a thin covering. It actually smells pretty decent, lots of blueberries, a little sweet caramel malt. The flavor is a little too over the top and artificial tasting though. A little too sweet for my tastes as well. Lighter bodied with a bit too much fizzy carbonation. Grabbed this on a lark to fill up the last spot in a mixer-sixer, shoulda passed this over.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a medium sized white head. Aroma of wheat and watery blueberries. Taste of wheat and light blueberries.
