Blue Point Blueberry Ale

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

Bottle. Blueberry aroma upon opening the bottle and after pour. Dark yellow with a head that came and went. Malty, with an orange peel bitterness and of course, the blueberry. Good balance of flavors and restraint with the blueberry. I did note an acidic flavor which receeded as it warmed up a little. Nice change of pace, refreshing brew.

BLUEBERRY TASTE IS STRONG BUT NOT OVERWHELMING. AVERAGE BEER NOTHING I WILL GO OUT OF MY WAY FOR.

this is my favorite blueberry beer and fruit beer as well. It can very easily be a session beer. It has a very clean, refreshing taste that can be enjoyed year round, it is brewed very fresh and you can taste the freshness while you drink it. The blueberry flavor is not over powering, it does not taste like pie. it is a great golden ale that has come form a break out brewery in this area. I am not a huge fruit beer fan and this impressed me greatly

bottle from hilltop. drank from the bottle so i didn’t get a good look at the hue or head. tastes were obviously blueberry and lightly hopped. not the greatest fruit beer but not terrible either.

On tap at the brewery in LI. Was expecting sort of a gimmick beer but I was very impressed. Pours a transparent golden color, very prominent sweet blueberry aroma. Taste was very subtle compared to the aroma and palate was smooth. Only knock is that it tasted a bit watered down.

Smells like a blueberry muffin; one of the best smelling fruit beers I’ve had. Now, like most other fruit beers, there is a old seltzer feeling with it and the palate is very thin.

Bottle, best by 10/2008. Pours a clear light orange with a thick white head. Yep this smells like blueberries!! A slight hint of sweet pale malt peeks in the aroma as well. Flavor of more blueberries with some wheat and sweet malt. Good blueberry ale! Not too sugary, like some fruit beers and it actually has a good malt backbone. Solid. 7/4/7/4/14

Update 8/9/2008: Had this on tap at the brewery and it was even better. Tastes like a blueberry muffin in your mouth. Wow.

Bottle, best before 10/08. Aroma starts off strongly of blueberry compote, but then some pale malts mesh nicely as well. Flavor of crisp, fresh blueberries, lasting into the finish. This is a massive step up from the many misguided attempts we’ve all encountered of adding fruit to a boring wheat or golden ale. I quite like it!
