Commercial Description:
Not suited for timid or reserved beer drinkers, Wild Blue’s defining taste characteristic is its kick of natural blueberry flavor. The Blue Dawg Brewing team carefully selected a blend of hops and barley malt to ensure they complemented and balanced Wild Blue’s dominant blueberry notes, resulting in a robust and aromatic beer with a refreshing, palate-cleansing finish. Wild Blue is brewed with a blend of German hops from the Hallertau region in Bavaria and classic Aroma hops from the Willamette Valley in the Pacific Northwest. A combination of two- and six-row barley malt also was chosen specifically for this recipe. Beer lovers will appreciate this specialty fruit-infused lager’s striking burgundy color, ripe blueberry aroma and its ability to stand up to the strongest of foods.

Finally someone is making a blueberry brew with REAL blueberry. The smell of blueberry with the nice taste of blueberry and the deep red color all just go down so smooth. This hit the spot for me because I am really tired of the extracts. Nothing makes a better brew than real berries and this one shows that. Not sure where the Anheuser-Bush thing came about but my bottles says it was made by the Blue Dawg Brewing Co. in Baldwinsville, NY.

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.

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.

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.

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.
