Had this one bottled, thanks Tania! Bubbly, slighty cloudy dark yellow pour with a rapidly dissipating filmy head, profound nose of blueberry with a bit of strawberry and baked bread, sharp bitterness early followed by a really nice blueberry muffin sweetness. Watery finish. Really good!

poured into a pint glass, color is dark golden with nice white head. smells of blueberries but not in a syrupy sweet way. taste is definitely of blueberries although not as strong as the smell would lead you to believe.refreshing summer type beer.

Poured in a Pint Glass with a medium head. Aroma screames blueberries which can be smelled instantly from across the room. Taste is pure blueberry almost overwhelming. If you enjoy blueberries this your fruit beer.

This beer was poured into a pint glass with a decent head to it. there was an intence smell of blueberrys and te taste is strait blueberry and hops. if you dont like blueberrys you probally will not like this beer since it is just all blueberry but it is a good blueberry beer at that.

The blue berries aren’t as artificial tasting as other blueberry ales, but still pretty fake tasting. It smells great though, like a bowl of blueberries and sugar. It’s a little on thin side, even for the style.

Blueberry and red bull aroma. Golden color with some white foam, no head. Blueberry taste with a watery finish. Low carbonation. Reminds me more of flat soda than beer.

Bottle consumed on 2/23/07. Bottle code 6 157, whatever that means.
Oh boy! Another New England blueberry ale....I’m pretty sure I could rate this in my sleep. I bet it’s got a nice white head, a light golden body , clear, with moderate retention and minimal lacing.
It probably smells of lightly tart blueberry essence, a touch of dry blueberry skin (though whole fruit is not used) and some dry, lightly grainy, highly attenuated pale malts in the background. Clean, no yeast apparency. Probably some honey as it warms.
Flavor tastes of soft blueberry essence, not overly tart, with sweet, lightly honeyish malts. Filtered texture gives some looseness/wateriness on the finish and a bit too much sweetness builds up upon warming/breathing as it finishes.

And yes, after pouring and smelling/drinking the beer, that’s what it’s like, more or less. The unique character on this particular one? It tastes very chalky and lightly bitter. The blueberry flavor and aroma is more concentrated than in most. Tastes almost like white grape juice. Powderiness noted on the end. Oh and there’s more lacing than normal (everything seems to lace very well on this new glass of mine, however)
Good lord I hate this "style".

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a lacy white head. Blueberries in the slightly sweet aroma, and maybe some floral hops amid the berries. Light body and medium carbonation. Blueberries and flowers in the taste. Not much in the finish except a tiny hint of soap.
