Commercial Description:
A light fruit ale, made with Maine wild blueberries. As opposed to many of the sweeter fruit beers on the market, our addition of fresh Maine wild blueberries in this light ale yields a subtle blueberry aroma, without the sweet aftertaste. A mixture of the following Mutton malts, pale, crystal, and Munich, are combined with wheat to give this ale its lighter body, and we only use minimal amounts of Target and Willamette hops.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at Brennan’s Country Farm Market in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-hazed orange amber with an average off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and thin white ring with some spot lacing. Aroma of morning blueberry pancakes that overpowers any caramel malt or hop character. Taste has a good balance of blueberry and white bread malt with wheat and a touch of grassy hops. Finish is semi-sweet with a mild metallic blueberry aftertaste that quickly disappears.

From old notes. Bottle, May 2005. Granted, I was on my honeymoon, so everything tasted great. Brought a bottle back from Maine to savor later, and had the same experience again, so it must have been quality. Marked as the best blueberry ale I’ve had. Not too over-the-top fruity, not too sweet. Very well balanced, with a wheaty twist.

Pours a perfect amber, 1 inch head, goes to nothing fast enough. Lottle of bubbling. Blueberry aroma. Tastes like blueberry pancakes in the morning. What a stupendousbeer for breakfast. A wonderous substitute. Flavor is a little sweet (artificially?). Flat slightly bready finish.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of KAggie97. Slightly hazy deep golden with an off-white head. Somewhat chemical fruit aroma. Medium body with sweet, berry-like fruit accents and a somewhat astringent, chemical finish. 160408

Enjoyed several of these with a friend in Cleveland. Not a bad brew, especially given I don’t generally care for the style. Looks like a basic hoppy amber beer, and it’s got quaffability in that area for sure. But the blueberry is hard to miss, in the nose and in the taste. Thankfully, it’s somewhat subtle. Good to knock back but nothing that lingers in the memory.
