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

Incredibly refreshing, a light beer with more than a hint of blueberry. The blueberry flavor is not a subtle one.

UPDATED: JUN 17, 2011 Love this beer. My favorite by Sweetwater. The blueberry isn’t too over powering.

Best beer for a summer music festival ever! Not to mention the guys that run the place are cool as hell.

May favorite beer by Sweetwater and maybe my fav beer of all. Is an ale with a hint of blueberries that you might not catch if not looking for it. Not a fruity taste at all. Just smooth.

A fairly low-bodied beer for those days when you don’t want anything too heavy. A good blueberry aroma, but the fruit flavor is subtle on the tongue. Not too yeasty or hoppy, a well-balanced drink.
