Beer Works Bunker Hill Bluebeery Ale

Brewed by Beer Works
Style: Fruit Beer
Boston, Massachusetts USA

Sample from tap at the brewpub in Canal street. Pours hazy brown but still light enough to look through, looks a bit strange and far from inviting. Off white head. The beer has floating blueberries. Aroma is heavily dominated by blueberries. Flavour is rather watery with only a vague note of blueberries. Mid between sweet and dry. Finish is watery.

Tap@Beer Works, Boston, Ma. There actually blueberrys in the beer! Ha. Anyway, this is a pretty average beer. Tastes like lager with blueberrys. The good thing is that its not too sweet.

on tap and garnished with a small handful of blueberries-pours a foamy blue/white head that laces. Slightly hazy pale yellow/pale pink color. Aroma is blueberry. Taste is a light beer grain with blueberries.

(draught) If I read other comments, somebody mashed my fruits... Fully hazy dark amber, good white head. Citrussy, fruity nose with a perfumey odour that is actually remindful of blueberries. Unfortunately, the taste is both perfumey and harsh, as if a chmeical component was used as blueberry-ester. Malts get overwhelmed. Medium bodied. failed somewhere along the line. Good try, pity about the outcome.

Served with blueberry juice and blueberries, this is very good as far as blueberry ales go.

A golden ale with thin white head and added blueberries. I aroma, light blueberry juice aroma. In mouth, a light blonde with light blueberry notes. On tap at Fenway brewpub, Oct. 12 2008.

Tap at Fenway. Pours a wierd violet tinged golden with a thin head that diminishes- they threw in some blueberries into the glass. Aroma is like a fesh baked blueberry muffin at first, but then it goes south- tons of solvent and fruity high ferm temp esters. Flavor is artificial like, crackery and reminded me of some fake cereal like frankenberry or fruit loops. Harsh astringent and solventy finish.
