Commercial Description:
Sweetwater Blue is a unique lighter style ale enhanced with a hint of fresh blueberry. When you drink this beer take a good whiff first and you’ll smell the blueberry influence, but on the taste it’s extremely subtle and the finish is extra clean. Ain’t no fruit beer, but it is our breakfast beer, usually folks that are looking to quench their thirst or for those that are new to the “good beer” lifestyle; this is their choice. This brew and the ESB were the original two to go through the tanks at SweetWater in February 1997.

Medals: Bronze medal winner at the 1998 World Beer Cup, Fruit Beer category; Always the funky favorite at any outdoor beer festival

Malt: 2 Row, Wheat

Hops: Centenial

Courtesy of JimboWood. Pours kind of a pinkish yellow with a small white head. Aroma is blueberries and somewhat grainy. Flavors are mostly over ripe blueberries with very minimal sweetness and a little tartness in the finish. Not bad.

Draft @ Flying Saucer - Nashville. Golden in the glass with a thin white head that fully diminished. The aroma reminds me of blueberry pancakes. Blueberry and wheat in the flavor with a hoppy background. Light body and soft carbonation.

Light honey color, lots of carbonation, a bubbly off white head that dissipates quickly. Blueberry aroma, not too faint and not overpowering. Very pale malt flavors are sort of watery with a decent blueberry note that never leaves the background. Nice strong blueberries hit the side of the mouth with a crisp effervescence. Finishes decent. Light and drinkable, not really my style though.

Bottled. Poured a light gold with a qwik dissolve head. Very fruity aroma, which doesn’t translate as well to the taste, which has a Fruity pebbles vibe to it.

Didn’t totally hate it, which is a huge compliment coming from me about a fruit infused beer.

Bottle. Pours light gold, almost no head. Smells like sweet fruit, blueberry fruity pebbles. Tastes about the same, maybe a hint of honey. I A little sweet for my taste, but nice. Nice carbonation. A nice fruit beer.
