BluCreek Blueberry Ale

BluCreek Brewing Company
Brewed at Sand Creek Brewing Co. (Pioneer/Wisconsin Brewing Co.)
Style: Fruit Beer
Madison, Wisconsin USA

Slightly hazy dark amber with a light foamy white head. Lightly fruity nose with hints of old cheese - somewhat disturbing. Lightly phenolic smelling with a light citrus note. The body is quite fruity with a very light blueberry presence. Dries throughout with a light plastickey fruitiness. Not a very good try here.

Poured nicely with a 1/2 inch head, nice amber look to it. Could smell the blueberries right away. The taste was crisp and interesting with the blueberry taste not to overwhelming.

1 bottle from Beers of the World. Poured little head. Good aroma of Blueberries. Weak taste of Blueberries and not much of a body. Poor aftertaste.

Bottled. I see a wide spectrum of opinion on this, but I'm going toward the negative side. Pours an almost nonexistent head on an amberish body with a slight blue tinge. Has a light ale taste, but the blueberries taste like syrup, or more precisely, cough syrup, with a "processed" aspect. I've got other bottles, so I'll try it again, but this just didn't sit right with me. Beer should make you feel happy.
2nd Bottle. I want to try it again, since I was slightly under the weather the first time, but I see no real improvement. Blueberries, when not amped by sugar in a syrup, have a very subtle flavor, and they just piled on the juice to make the blueberry stand out at the expense of the beer taste. A better balance might improve this, but I'm supposing the general public would prefer a big fruity taste, equivalent to, say, a Zima.

The bottle pours a hazy amber with very little head and no lace. The aroma is of blueberries. The taste is quite blueberry like, but with a finish that taste somewhat artificial. The palate is OK I guess. I'm not real sure about this one.

#200 For Me. Amber body and no head. Smells like blueberries. The smell is awesome. I also catch a little cinnamon and hops. Good flavor but I really which the blueberry stood out a little more. The aftertaste is more blueberry but I wish it was more prominent. Sweet beer. I like it. Re-rate. Can't drink too much, makes you feel sick. The taste gets to you

Dark amber body, tiny white head diminishing quickly, blueberry nose. Not much body; most of the flavor is the blueberry. At least it isn't unbearably sweet, but it has as much beer character as an American Standard, but with blueberries.

Pours a transparent copper/amber with a .5cm white head which quickly dissipates. Nose is overbearingly of blueberries without uch else. Start through finish is way overpowered by blueberry. The Blueberry flavor is pleasant, but it seriously could be a soft drink rather than a beer. way too one dimensional, although it is not an unpleasant beer. Palate is quite thin and watery.
