1.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
2009 Bottle. This was a remarkably disappointing beer. Artificial blueberry aroma and flavor predominate and overwhelm this beer. It is as though the blueberry equivalent of grenadine has been pumped into an otherwise un-noteworthy lager. Disappointing...is my tongue blue after drinking this?

If you want blueberry soda, buy this. It is way too sweet and should not be considered a beer. Never ever buy again.
1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
12oz bottle. Dark ruby-red/purple color, weird pink head. Almost totally opaque, definitely interesting looking. Really awful medicinally bitter taste is what strikes me first. Aroma is like a raisin-flavored jolly rancher that’s been saturating in your mouth for far too long, it is sickly sweet. Sharp carbonation, with a really syrupy texture in the aftertaste. Really awful beer, probably the worst I have ever had... But even still, I refrain from giving it a 0.5, because I guess it could be worse (if they really tried hard enough). Poured in a snifter. I could only finish half, the rest went down the drain.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Aroma: Hints of berry, certainly, but with a bit too much alcohol and yeasty aromas.
Appearance: Dark purple with a lavender head.
Taste: Medium to heavy sweetness with hints of bitterness throughout. Tastes more like grape juice than beer.
Palate: Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, sweet, cloying finish.
Overall: Well, it sure looked pretty when I poured it. Just a pretty meager attempt at a fruit beer, with too much fruit and not enough balance. It’s drinkable, but just barely.
2.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Strong fruity aroma, very pleasant if you enjoy the smell of grape/blueberries. Appearance is dark purple, aside from the white/cream lace it looks like a grape soda. Taste is sweet, fruity, some citrus and alcohol. There are better fruit beers and better blueberry beers at that, too sweet, tastes almost artificial.
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
12 oz bottle pours a dark purplish red with a small pink head and a little lacing. Smells like alcoholic grape soda. Aroma is the same, with fermenting blueberries added. Taste is more like a hard cider than beer. Finish is drier than the sweet grape soda taste. Alcohol is noticeable, which I guess is the point. (This is probably rated more highly by teenage girls than the usual lot of reviewers here). It might make a good dessert beverage with a meal. I wouldn’t have tried this if the bottle said it was from Anheuser Busch. It says Blue Dawg Brewing, Baldwinsville, NY. Bizzarre as far as beer goes, sick as far as alcohol marketing goes, but I don’t regret trying it for something different.

I LOVE this beer! It is the best. It’s hard to drink any other beer after having had this.
