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

Bottle. Pours pale golden, with a small white head and little retention. Aroma is like Booberry cereal--strong bluebery and bread. Flavor is similar, with a bit of sweetness. Finish is a little watery, but not that bad for a fruit beer.

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.

On draft at the Sweetwater Taphouse in the Atlanta International Airport. Clear light gold pour with minimal off-white head. Blueberry nose is obvious and follows through in the flavor. Medium body, with prickly carbonation and a slightly ’dusty’ finish.

Bottle, little to no head. Pleasing blueberry aroma. Taste of bluberries was definite but had little body and was watery.
