COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Blue Lady is a very sour girl, sure to bring a pucker to your lips. She starts with a traditional sour mash to bring out her tart side. After fermentation we introduce her to one hundred and fifty pounds of fresh blueberries from our friends at Seedling Farm. The result is a beautifully colored sour ale with a layer of blueberry flavor.

Batch 31 - bottles with no wax - has been recalled! please e-mail BlueLady@pipeworksbrewing.com if you have one of these bottles

Batch 51 - bottles with blueish wax - newest batch

Pours pretty pink for blue lady. Lacto, blueberry and wine notes. I need more characters

thirdeye11 (4977) - Dallas, Texas, USA - MAY 2, 2013
UPDATED: MAY 3, 2013 (750ml bottle) clear, bright red beer. White bubbles. Nose of butter, blueberry, pancakes, bread and sweetness. Taste of tart blueberry, lightly Tart, artificial butter, weird, infected. Odd beer.

Pours a very thin body with a head that recedes to nothing instantly. Bretty aromas with a mouthfeel that follws in slight barnyard sourness. Very crisp, dry. Sessionable. A light funky brunch with blueberry pancakes and blueberry Berliner Weisse

Reynolds314 (1480) - Connecticut, USA - MAR 6, 2013
WOW! Smells like the trash can at a Blue Cheese Eating Competition. Straight up stinky cheese, vomit, sour milk, poop, and gym socks. First time a beer has ever made me gag from a smell. Taste had a tinge of berry and lemon that were immediately CRUSHED by gag inducing vomity cheese. This beer is an atrocity on epic proportions. Just now seeing that they actually recalled it which is a very good thing. How anyone that has had batch 31 can rate it higher then macro lagers is completely insane. My kitchen drain still stinks this morning have DP’ing this thing and then pouring liquid plumber down it.

beernbourbon (1146) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - FEB 14, 2013
Batch 51 bottle. Pour is quite striking - deep reddish purple with a medium pink head. Like a cross between red wine and rose wine, except carbonated. Aroma and flavor are subtle with light sour notes, faint hints of berry, and faint sweetness. Quite effervescent. This is very drinkable and very good looking. Flavors are all very subtle.

Dogbrick (5984) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - JAN 22, 2013
Bottle shared by a friend. Pours a pinkish-amber color with a medium fizzy pinkish-white head that evaporates steadily. Spotty lacing. Aroma of berries, wheat and funk. Light-bodied with a mildly tart fruit character and notes of wheat and yeast. The finish is fruity with a berry aftertaste. Decent overall.

savnac (2056) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - JAN 4, 2013
750ml bottle via trade batch 31. Clearish ruby amber with a fizzy light purple head. Aroma of blue cheese, sulfur, gym socks and light blueberry. Flavor is acidic berry, sharp cheese and lactic acid. Light body with active carbonation. Ew, such an odd aroma, really gross, taste isn’t as bad but you can’t help but smell it on the way up to take a sip. Drainpour.

Bottle - Batch 51. Buttered popcorn aroma. Slightly hazy rose with a large pink tinged head. Tart watery blueberry and diacetyl flavor. Light watery body.

Bottle. Buttery blueberry aroma. Hazy blueish red with large head. Light musty blueberry flavor - buttery finish. Very light body. Not much to it except for the diacetyls.
