Commercial Description:
Malted wheat and the choicest American barley are combined with a blend of noble hops to create this light, fruity, refreshing beer. Brewed in the style of the American beer renaissance, Blue Star is unfiltered, the yeast adding a complex note to the flavor profile. It's especially good with a slice of lemon!

Spicy sweet citrus aromas with hints of grassy aromas. Pours cloudy orange with a dense white head. Bready, yeasty, with hints of citrus and honey. Very mild flavor.

Pours a hazy muddled yellow gold with white head that dissipates to a thin layer. Aroma is wheat and not too much to say about it. Flavor is wheat, light watery earthiness with very mild hops. Body is fairly light with medium carbonation. Definitely nothing remarkable about this beer. Better than bud light but that’s about it.

Pours a semi-hazy straw with fading offwhite head. Aroma of sweet citrus and some horseblanket. Flavor has a weak hop bitterness. Medium thin body with high carbonation. Not that great.

Decent summer beer. Poured a clear straw color with a small white head. Aroma was faint. Taste was rather watery and bland.

Great for summer sipping. Not a ton of complexity, but pretty refreshing in the sun.
