Commercial Description:
Amber Ale brewed with Wild Maine Blueberries.
An amber ale brewed with all natural ingredients, including real wild blueberries and wild blueberry juice from the State of Maine this beer has a light crisp body and subtle wild blueberry aroma and taste, but is not sweet like many fruit beers. These characteristics have made the beer popular with all age groups, especially young adults and make the beer a popular part of many beer cocktails and mixed beer drinks. For instance, many people enjoy the beer as a part of a “Black and Blue;” an alternative to a “Black and Tan".

12oz bottle acquired in trade with CaptainCougar (thanks!). Poured a medium and hazy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. As soon as I popped the cap off this one, I could smell blueberries. Aromas of blueberries, a little yeasty/crustiness, and Welch’s Grape Juice. Tastes of blueberries and grains.

Aroma is definitely blueberry. Color is ripe apricot tinged amber. Not much head. Medium body with moderate carbonation. It’s not sweet. It is malty in taste. The finish is essentially blueberry skin. An ok drink, but not a typical ale experience. Something of an ersatz chocolate aspect is present. It’s growing on me as time passes.

Pour is a amber with a small white head. Aroma is of fresh blueberry juice and some powered sugar. Flavor is some blueberry with a mix of some bitter chocolate. Nothing overpowers though and the blueberrys could come out more in the flavor. Another fruit beer that smells better than it tastes.

Light brown color with no head at all. Very pleasant blueberry aroma. Flavor features blueberry but is very earthy and spicy. Like most fruit beers, the addition of berries sounded much better than it tasted. Disappointing.

12oz bottle. this a solid looking amber colored ale that tops off with a thin tan head. plenty of blueberry on the nose, along with some soft grain and grassy hops. kinda smells like fruity pebbles. smooth palate with characteristics found in other amber ales. the middle hits with lots of blueberry fruity tartness, but tastes chocolatey as well. sort of like chocolate covered blueberries. not bad for what it is.

I did not like this. I tasted it four days ago and already the flavor has escaped me

Bottle. Nose of Blueberries raises my expectations for a sweet fruit beer with almost soda-like qualities. I am confronted rather with an dry ale with the mild taste of blueberries. Not much more to say here. I can’t say I am pleased, nor can I say totally disappointed. Interesting berry flavor which is pretty unique. I guess I would recommend this beer for people to try as somewhat of a novelty.

Poured a rich amber with minimal head and no retention. Strong aroma of bluberries. Taste of blueberries and blueberries. Aftertaste of blueberries. The blueberry taste wasnt overpowering, but that’s pretty much all you could taste.
