Jul 4, 2003 Light amber colour. Very candyish, artifical aroma and palate. Cloying, one-dimensional cough syrup.

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.

Nov 16, 2002 An average beer with a great blueberry taste. The fresh Maine blueberries would be better accented with a more distinct and less carbonated pale ale, yet Blu Creek is one of the better fruit beers I have tried. Re-rate: Tried alongside Sweetwater Blue and found this to have much more character and flavor.

Jan 5, 2007 Bottle... Hazy light amber ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head and floaties galore. Blueberries, black tea and a subtle note of beef stock in the aroma. Well-balanced, but thin with moderate tanginess. Light-bodied and dry with lively carbonation. Crisp finish.

Jan 12, 2007 The SweeTart candy version of blueberries (which I already don’t care for) made it difficult for me to convince myself to bring this beer to my lips. But I did. Wish I didn’t. Atop a bland malty taste is a slightly bitter, artificial berry flavor that coated my mouth with a plastic sweetness and generated a quiet churning in my belly. There’s an industrial bitter/sweet taste to the finish. Nice hazy amber body with a slender off-white head, by the way. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Mar 18, 2003 Amber color with a smaller light cream colored head. Blueberry extract aroma along with a touch of malt. A pale ale with a blueberry hint. The aroma seem to flavor this one more than the actual taste.

Nov 14, 2001 Nice dark-amber color, with little head; I was a bit disturbed by all the big bubbles flowing up from the bottom in a way quite reminiscent of soft drinks; Nose is the best part, blueberry cobbler mixed with gingerbread! But this is spoiled by a slight medicinal tinge, and the flavor goes downhill with way too much carbonation, though the blueberry cobbler taste is still present, with some nice malts. Gets a bit weak at the end, except for that cola-like bubbling! So-so.

Mar 2, 2009 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.
