Wow, what a nasty beer experience in a bottle. Picked up a single from the local store as I was curious, brewed in "New York" by a brewery I’ve never heard of so I thought I’d give it a go. Offensive aroma of medicinal berries and vegetables. Smells like a ghetto bum wine mixed with cough syrup. Interesting red/purple color with a light pink head and some decent lacing. Beer should probably not be this color. Fizzy mouth feel, drinks mildly with an empty sweetness. Flavor...ugh, well it really tastes like medicine. A brutal syrupy mess in a bottle. It is essentially a mixture of Mad Dog 20/20 and Nyquill. Pass right by this one if you know what’s good for you......so I see it’s actually brewed by AB, makes sense.

Jul 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours a very blue color. Aroma of blueberry, light grain. Taste is similar and seemed a little bit like a wine cooler. Finish is smooth. Body is light. At 8%, this fruit juice beer is probably not made for beer folks.

Jul 15, 2008 Wild Blue is a clear, very sparkling, magenta beer with a small, dense amethyst head. The aroma is sweet with notes of grape peel, cider, blueberry and cork. It has a medium body, papery, syrupy and a little flat. It’s reasonably smooth, but the finish is rumbly. It tastes cidery and very sweet. There are notes of blueberry, concord grape and cranberry. It’s pretty rough and grumbly under the sweetness. My brother told me it’s something for perverts to give to young girls on the beach. I’d take this over a Bud any time.

Jul 11, 2008 Pale red/purple color with a pink head. Smell is very sweet. Taste hides the alcohol (8%) well, but the sweetness overpowers the other flavors. Not terrible, but not extraordinary either.

Jul 11, 2008 Poured a purplish blue color with a pinkish head. Aroma was of blueberry pancake syrup. Flavor was much the same, very sweet and syrupy and hard to drink a lot of.
