Chicago Blueberry Vanilla Wheat

Brewed by Chicago Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Las Vegas, Nevada USA

Had a sample of this at the brewpub. It had a nice blueberry aroma, if just a bit enhanced. No vanilla. Flavor was pretty much the same but with some clove. This beer is more blueberry than vanilla or wheat. Very fizzy.

Sampler @ 4 Queens, Vegas. Pours golden cloudy, white head. Aroma wheat, blueberry, and wasn’t getting much vanilla. Taste, tart blueberry,wheat, light note of vanilla, overall mouthfeel was just too artificial.

on tap-pours a thin retaining white head and cloudy yellow/gold color. Aroma is key lime, pine, some wheat. Taste is tart lime, vanilla/blueberry, some wheat, perfumy. Interesting and enjoyed, but not something I’d get again.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a hazy yellow color with a thin white head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing. Mild honey and fruit in the nose. Light-bodied with a flavor similar to blueberry cough syrup. Some sweetness as well, but all around not very tasty. The finish is tart fruit and leaves some berry aftertaste. Overall I would not try this again.

my favorite of their brews without a doubt. Unique and somewhat interesting. Blueberries and vanilla fill the nose nicely. Sweet honey hints in there too. Cloudy hefe. color with average head. First taste causes the cheeks to pucker a bit, but after that the mouth becomes quite used to it and it is easy to drink. I can definitely taste blueberry muffins, but it isn’t overpowering. Aside from the blueberry flavor and vanilla aroma - it is kinda bland. Bubbly on the palate - nothing over the top. Pretty decent overall.

1st beer I had at this place, and in my opinion their best. Pours an attractive cloudy orange. Smell is as expected of blueberries, vanilla and some wheat. Taste is similar, and actually not too thin like most of their other beers. Creamy blueberry flavor with strong clove flavor and a hefeweizen yeastiness. Still a bit thin overall, but compared to their others, it’s good.

20 oct 07, @ 4 Queens. Sample Tray. Slight hazy yellow. Heavy aroma of artificial blueberry flavoring. Big Blueberry. Flavor of blueberry (chemical) flavoring. Hints of vanilla hard candy. Finishes like a blueberry flavored cough syrup. GAG! Overall: A greasy, over-sprayed with PAM, blueberry muffin that you buy in bulk at COSTCO... BLAH!

Cloudy pale yellow, dense foamy white head. Blueberry cupcake aroma. A nice blend of soft blueberry and vanilla flavours on a wheaty palate, but a little too sweet and somewhat artificial to me. I’m glad I only got a taser mug.
