This may be the weirdest colored beer I’ve ever had. It poured with a grape soda-like color and the head was tinged purple as well. It has a big blueberry aroma and flavor. There is a hint of malt in the aftertaste. It is way over carbonated and you don’t notice the alcohol. This reminds me of a wine cooler. It is good for people who don’t like the taste of beer. I think the blueberry flavor is overpowering and this might belong in the malt liquor section of the store.

Oct 5, 2008 Best stuff I’ve had from AB actually leaves a lacing on the glass does remind me of carbonated grape Kool Aide not much on traditional beer taste and you can’t taste the alcohol but you can sure feel it.

Oct 3, 2008 Beer pours with a slight hint of blue in the head. The presence of berries was obvious. Average mouthfeel and carbonation. I like how the hops and berry flavoring matched. Not a great beer but quite refreshing and enjoyable.

Sep 30, 2008 Well its not blue. I dont really recall blueberries have much of an aroma but it does smell "berry". The alcohol is surprisingly masked and only noticable at the very end. The taste reminds me of cough syrup. I cant say that I am enjoying this at all.

Sep 30, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a cherry color into a dark cherry in the glass. A lavender head! Don’t see that often. Nose is of blueberries. Taste is like berry juice, not beer. Mouthfeel is thin but syrupy sweet and fairly well carbonated. Alcohol well hidden. Hard to drink it all though as it was very sweet; like drinking cough syrup.

I once wrote a paper in college that earned me a d+. I used the same paper again in a different class, changed the title, and received an a+ (98, excellent job).
My point: This is a damn tasty drink and it does not matter if it is "beer" or if it is an Anheuser-Busch product. Or, if you call Bach’s music jazz, it sucks. But, if you call call Bach’s music music, then it’s great. It’s not the greatest drink I’ve ever had, but the reasons for others hating it are mostly beer-snob rhetoric.
