Good, but a little thin on the blueberry flavor. Not a "sweet" blueberry like most other BB ales I’ve come across.

Deep gold with off white head and lace. Earthy hops and large blueberries. Medium maltiness, medium blueberries, and a light bitter. Light/medium bodied and a little fizzy. Another BB beer that smells better than it tastes.

Bottle thanks to SpringsLicker. Light golden orange with an off white two finger foam. Huge expected blueberry aroma. Taste is light pale malts and more blueberries.

On tap at the Golden Rail. Pours a deep cloudy brown, looking like stirred up river water full of silt and mud, with a bit of a white top. Was told that it was close to the end of the keg, and sure enough, next pour kicked it, so that should explain some of the color and turbidity problems, but, it was the pint I got, so it’s what I’m going by. Smelled just like a blueberry muffin. Piles of blueberry, some yeast and wheat smells, quite interesting. The flavor didn’t live up to the promises of the aroma, and instead was mostly empty, save for some of the now artificial tasting blueberry flavor. Finished with more of that blueberry, and an almost metallic taste. I’ve had the same thing in another Blue Point brew, so maybe it’s something on their end.

Im not huge on fruit beers but if you are this is one of the better ones. The aroma is huge blueberry pie. Taste is a nicely balanced blueberry and malt. Its a good representation of the style without going overboard on taste.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of beerbill. Thanks! Pours a hazy reddish color with a small head, decent head retention and poor lacing. Aroma of blueberry, citrus and some bready notes. Taste is primarily malty with some toasted malt notes. Medium bodied.

Poured from bottle. You notice a great blueberry muffin aroma as soon as you open the bottle. Clear amber, thin head. Feels a bit thin. Blueberry not noticeable in flavor, just some roasted malt. Very nice beer to drink.

Draught at the Ginger Man, NYC. Fresh taste of blueberry juice. Not much of a beer beyond that, more of a novelty than a beer, really.
