Cloudy purpleish pink with a pink tinged head. Weak aromas of fruit and wheat. Flavor is more of the same. Had a somewhat soapy taste followed by a sour finish.

Hazy orange tinted golden colour with a nice dense white head. Aroma of blueberries, malt, wheat, coriander seed and some fruity freshness. Medium-bodied; Sweet flavour with a good malt backbone lasting long. Aftertaste shows some more of the fruit and accentuates the style of beer. Overall, a great beer to try and I’m happy to be able to sample this one. I sampled this pint on draught at the Beer Sellar in Knoxville, Tennessee on 02-October-2004.

GABF 2004. Cloudy dull-purple body and sudsy white head. Interesting mild yeastiness and a light blueberry nose and flavor. Palate is a little thin and watery but this is a nice, novel beer overall.

Weird beer. Tried it cos it was on tap. Odd beer. Looks like a Jones soda more than a beer. Tastes a lot like one too. Smooth beer, but pretty odd. Not something I think I would go for again.

Cloudy purple. It actually is exactly the same color as plum baby food. No joke. Faint aroma, and it actually smells more like wheat bear than blueberries. First flavor is a hint of blueberries, then a nice wheat bite. Nicely creamy, and a fairly restrained use of fruit. Not bad.
