Commercial Description:
This is very similar to the raspberry only with blueberries. The blueberry flavor is a little more subtle than the raspberry. We serve this for a couple of months in the summer only.

draft at the brewpub - Pours cloudy light yellow and has lots of blueberry in the aroma. The taste is mild and wheaty with very obvious blueberry. I find the underlying beer a bit lacking, but the blueberries are nice.

Tap at brewpub.
Pours a nice cloudy yellow with an aroma of doughy blueberry mix. Flavor is corn, Sprite (or 7-Up, depending on your fancy), and watered-down blueberry juice. Tingly mouthfeel that doesn’t really go anywhere. Barely detectable blueberry; needs more blueberry.

this was a good beer, surprised by its low rating, the blueberry taste was very noticeable. I was burping up the flavor of blueberries all day

Draft at brewery. Body-clear gold body with a thick ring of bubbles and film of bubbles. Nose-smells just like a big stack of pancakes with rich buttery blueberry syrup. Taste-light cereal, artificial blueberry (in a good way), no hops, blueberry dominates. Flavor gets points because the blueberry works so well with the beery flavors, light dog food, tastes like Boo Berry cereal.

12oz bottle-A cloudy hazy golden body with a small white head and an aroma of blueberries and more blueberries. Taste is the same with the blueberries being almost overpowering. I prefer the overpowering to almost no taste of the flavoring. Nice tasting beer.

Aroma is somewhat light...fruity and malty. Flavor is all blueberry...nothing to offset the blueberry. The best way to sum up this beer is that I don’t enjoy cherries, but find some beers that incorporate cherry flavors to be very enjoyable as they are able to create a nice mesh of flavors in which the cherry flavor does not overly dominate; that being said, if you don’t like blueberries, don’t go anywhere near this beer, because the blueberry flavor is overpowering

Draught at the brewery. Very light colored with small bubbled frothy head. Almost imperceptible blueberry in the aroma. Flavor was sweet, with an o-putting corn flavor in the finish.

Draught sampled at the brewery. Beer was clear, light-to-medium oxidized gold with a tiny, white, total and rapidly diminishing. The aroma was malty with a light note of husky toasted grain; Hoppy with light notes of tea and honey; Moderate fresh blueberry note. The flavor was lightly bitter, moderately sweet with a long, lightly bitter/grippy, moderately sweet finish. The body was light, the texture was watery and the carbonation was average. The beer itself wasn’t a stand-out, but the blueberry quality was genuine and pretty.
