Estes Park Bear Lake Blueberry Wheat

Brewed by Estes Park Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Estes Park, Colorado USA

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.

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 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.

Bottle. Pours cloudy, hazy gold with a small rocky white head. Blueberry and wheat malt aromas with a faint fruit hop nose. Spotty lacing. Hoppy blueberry and wheat flavor. Light bodied and lively carbonation.

Typical bland fruit beer aroma of extract, low-grade malt, some cinnamon. Not bad, but far from great. Phenolic, as are many of these fake fruit beers, and a faint Blueberry fruitiness. A good be for the non-beer fan, but not for me.

This started off tasting like a blueberry muffin, but they must have added a few extra handfulls of hops - the finish has a warming bitterness to it. I’m not entirely sure that flavor combination works or not. Otherwise, it’s like their other wheat beers - thin, tangy, some crispness.

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.

Ever had blueberry pancakes with the dried blueberries? This is it, liquified. Too sweet, not complex enough.
