1.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottled. A dark red with a pinkish head. The aroma is dominated by alcohol - like a pile of blueberries left in the sun too long so they’ve started fermenting - not very pleasant in my nose. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, metal from the alcohol, and blueberries - not good - try making a 5% version to get rid of the alcohol notes.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden deep redish with a small white head. Aroma is blueberry and light acidic. Flavour is sweet and classic blueberry flavoured with a mild dry herbal blueberry touch and mild acidity. Ends medium dry and fruity.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle 35,5 cl. Pours a clear shocking dark red colour with a reddish head. Intense and fat - but also somewhat artificial - blueberry aroma. Medium body, very sweet blueberry notes with quite some alcohol in the finish. 060709

0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Yeah, this one really didn’t work for me. The aroma was all blueberry. The taste was also all blueberry, with an extremely sweet flavour. I’d have a hard time calling it anything but an alcopop. Yikes. Score justification: Unbalanced as hell, and too cloying to enjoy. Tasted GABF ’05.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz. bottle. Beautiful garnet color with a pink berry head which didn’t last long. Aroma seems a mix of blueberry and noble hop. Near medium body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is berry, some of it is blueberry, and honey or sugar. I have no regret at having tried this. I think a bottle shared among 3 or 4 people having an appropriate dessert might work well. I sort of like it. I just can’t see drinking very much at one time. Some nice berry bitter notes towards the end. Much better than Pink Killer.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Party Town. Pours clear deep reddish color with an average frothy white head that was mostly diminished with fair lacing. Moderate blueberry aroma. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Medium fruity sweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of an average duration. My expectations where met.
3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle... Clear, dark, rose-colored malternative with a small, creamy, light purple head.
So-so retention. Smells like blueberries... I love blueberries. Full-bodied with lively carbonation. Tastes like blueberry soda... I love blueberries. Finishes sweet and fruity with slight alcohol bitterness. I love blueberries and now I guess I love blueberry soda. Reminds me a bit of Purple Passion back in my college days. I think Everclear put that stuff on the shelves. A blend of grape soda and grain alcohol... I love grape soda. Note to self: Buy bottles of this for weekend day trips to the beach.
