Blue Point Blueberry Ale

Brewed by Blue Point Brewing
Style: Fruit Beer
Patchogue, New York USA

On tap. Smells like fruity pebbles. Much milder blueberry taste vs the smell. A light beer.

Bottle courtesy of trade with beerbill. Pours hazy red/amber color with pinkish foamy head, lots of particles floating. Huge aroma of blueberries, can smell it almost across the room. With that aroma thought the flavor would be more strongly of berries, but it’s actually pretty subtle, and mostly comes towards the finish and lingers in the aftertaste. Besides the obvious blueberry flavors, there’s also yeast/bread flavors, sweet malts, not really any bitterness to speak of. Drinkable and refreshing, if not earthshattering.

Doughy, bready, yeasty blueberry aroma, like unbaked muffins. Clear amber, thin vanishing head. Maltier than expected, with blueberries only appearing at midpalate and yielding back to the maltiness. A good combination of seemingly lower quality ingredients.

Poured a clear light amber with a tall creamy head. There was a light amount of carbonation bubbles rising in the glass. There was a very good sweet blueberry aroma. The initial taste was slightly dry with a hint of sourness from the blueberries. The flavor of blueberries was in the beer, but it was not overly sweet more natural fresh blueberry flavor. The head left some nice lacing. This was refreshing and different. A nice beer.

I like that this isn’t to much berry in the blue. Some fruit with a nice crisp refreshing summer beer. Pretty good overall.

Bottle. Orange amber pour with a tall white head. Aroma is blueberries, blueberry pie, grains and sweet malt. Taste is more blueberries, sweet malts, grains, and blueberry muffin. Rather sweet and artificial at times. Slightly grassy as well. Body is overly carbonated with a light-medium feel. Ends with a touch more bitterness atop of more blueberry notes, malt, grains and pie. Not a bad summer beer. Refreshing for what it is.

Tap at Ginger Man in NYC. Clear golden color with a white head. Great blueberry and sweet bread aroma. Flavor disappoints a little bit, with sweet pale malt and a little blueberry. Medium-light body with somewhat high carbonation.

Golden color with small white head. Large blueberry aroma. Flavor of sweet malt and blueberry...it is what it is...
