BluCreek Blueberry Ale

12oz bottle. Amber peach color, pretty transparent. Respectable average head. Sweet blueberry aroma. A touch of bitterness upfront leads to a solid sweet blueberry taste. The mild amber malt tones give it a touch of depth, but overall a pretty straightforward venture. Nothing to write home about and nothing to whine about, it is what it is.

Thin head of varying sized bubbles. Light blueberry aroma with some roasted grains and dirty diapers. Hmmm, not what I would want in an aroma. Color is a orangish brown. More blueberry flavor along with some light roasted grains and an abundance of sweetness. Sickly sweet. Finishes sweet and sticky with lingering fruityness. Not a very good brew.

Yuck. Ok that is a bit strong, but close. As far as I can tell, a blueberry beer just has to have some sweetness. This tastes like what carbonated, unsweetened water tastes like. I tend to like Blueberry ales and so was a bit surprised by this.

12 oz bottle from three cellars (franklin, wi). Part of my girlfriend’s haul of singles. Pours a dark hazed amber with moderate tannish head that dissipates to a decent amount and laces a bit. Aromas are straight blueberry muffins. Light cakey sweetness mixed with blueberries. Initial is a lot lighter in the blueberry department, subtle blueberry that sticks to the aftertaste, tannins, light grainy sweet malty sweetness. Not a lot of bitterness, but a touch of tartness on the blueberry. A display of the fruit (which is natural and not overbearing), rather than the beer. Decent. Wins points for no artificial sugary sweetness but loses them for unassertive malt and a touch of watery feel.

Hazy, sickly copper with a light yellowish tan head. The smell reminds me of blueberry pancakes with some dandelions. The taste is like eating raw grain with just a hint of blueberry flavor. There is a toasted bread character that is kind of pleasing, but it doesn’t match well with the extra carbonation and overall super dry taste. It’s ok, but barely even a fruit beer.

Bottle. Somewhat hazy orange yellow color, a few chunks of sediment floating around. Flavor is light malt, some wheat. Blueberry flavor is completely mild, adds just a hint of fruit. Somewhat grainy on the palate. Light bodied. Dry finish.

Pours a hazy hay color with thin cream-colored head. Aroma is certainly of blueberries and light yeast notes. Flavor is a light grain with blueberry notes. The blueberry flavor is well done b/c it does not taste as if an extract was added but true blueberry flavor is mixed in. Body is medium with high carbonation. this is an interesting beer. I have never had a blueberry beer before.

Dark amber pour with a large foamy beige head with good retention and lacing. Aroma is a whiff of blueberry, and after the nose becomes acclimated to that, nothing. Flavor is grainy malts, slightly oxidized on the finish, with some subdued blueberry character. Medium bodied palate with a pleasant chalky character.
