Goose Island Barbary Blue

Brewed by Goose Island Beer Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Chicago, Illinois USA

Draught at the Clybourn pub. Dark amber thin off white head. Quite tart, blueberry sweetly evident but not dominating. Acidic. Not bad. Light in the mouth which works great with the tartness. Well done fruit beer.

on tap at gi cly. listed as "blueberry ale". pours cloudy amber with sm white head. aroma of blueberry skins. flavor is pretty much blueberries, which over takes the malts, sweet blueberry skin finish. this could work with a big dark beer.

Thick red amber color with a thin light pink head. Big blueberry smell. Flavor is a bit watery but the blueberries are surely present. Usually I am not a big fan of fruit beers - and this one is actually drinkable. It isn’t big or overpowering but rather it is fairly smooth and easy to go down.

Pours a dull reddish cranberry color with light white head on tap. Smell is light malt and fresh blueberries and tastes similar with a good amount of blueberry flavor. Somewhat crisp and lightly sweet but not overly so. Medium to thin bodied and very easy to drink. Not bad, actually.

Pours a golden yellow with a thin head. Aroma is dominated by the blueberries. The blueberry flavor was decent and the beer was reasonably sweet. Not my type of beer though. Average at best.

Golden yellow in color with a light red thin head, very intense blueberry smell, taste almost like a blueberry juice with a slight alcohol taste on the palate...very very blueberry in the aftertaste

Draft at GI Clybourn. Poured a slightly hazy light pink color. Head was bubbly and white. Tasted and smelled like berries (blueberries and raspberries) with light biscuity malt. A bit sweet for me, but the subtle berry was nice.

Pour is golden yellow with pinkish highlights and a white and pinkish head...smell is pungent blueberry....sweet blueberry juice flavor...sweet and cloying...
