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.

Aug 4, 2008 draft at brewpub. disappointing- bit of wildness going on here, and not that clean/nice fresh fruit taste I like in a fruit beer.

Jul 28, 2008 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.

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.

May 1, 2008 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.
