On tap at Heartland Empire State Building on 21st July 2011. Slightly hazy amber with offwhite foam and part lacing. Aroma is, as described, of blueberry and mint with a liquorice scent as well. Liquid is complex with mint, nettle, herby hop, berry fruits and delicate touches of elderflower. A citric and fruity finish on a zingy mouthfeel. Rated as a novelty. Enjoyable.

Draft. Pours amber with an off white head. And they put some blueberries in the bottom of my glass. Blueberry fruity aroma with notes of mint leaves and anise seed. The flavor has lightly sweet blueberry, fresh mint, light anise, and a light hoppy bitterness. Surprisingly good.

Sample @ Heartland Midtown West, New York, NY
Pours dark amber with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, dried fruits, blueberrys and mint. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Didn’t expect the blueberrys in the glass, kind of a unpleasant surprise.
