| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 15, 2004 (bottled 4/13/04) Clear golden body with bubbles rising ala champagne, with medium white head. Aroma is sweet blueberry and what I presume is elderberry. Taste is moderately sweet, again what I presume is elderberry, some blueberry, with a lingering dry/astringent fruitiness. Light, watery body. Ok for what it is. hopdog (5604), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 3, 2005 Poured a light and clear (see through) golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of fresh baked blueberry muffins. Tastes of lighter blueberries and some malt. Thinner body with lively carbonation. hopscotch (5504), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 2, 2004 Sparkling clear, straw-colored ale.
The nose is refreshing and releases huge notes of blueberries and subtle notes of hops. Well-balanced flavor. Fruity, citrusy, moderately bitter and a bit thin. Light-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, fruity, clean finish. Great beer for Summertime "porch sittin'".

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 19, 2009 Pours copper/amber with a thin white head. Smells of berries. Tastes of berries with some caramel hints on the finish. JPDIPSO (4923), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | May 11, 2004 Light straw color with a tall disipating ultra white head. Fruit perfume odor that I have a hard time getting past and really do not wish to smell and analyze any further. Selter water feel. Elderberry tartness, along with a blueberry finish and a tart elderberry linger. No malt character. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 8, 2004 Pours gold. Aroma of malt, hops, blueberries, elderberries. Tastes of the above berries, with malt and some hops at the finish. Refreshing, with a natural berry flavor. Lubiere (4537), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jan 6, 2006 Lightly hazed blonde with a white head. Barely any aroma. Nice crisp malt with faint blueberry notes. Medium bodied. Boring. Mondiale 2005. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 7, 2004 Light apple juice, almost no head, clear. Big fruity nose lacks complexity or much besides berries, but is pleasant enough. Not a heckuva lot of fruit in the taste, rather wheat-beer like and citrusy, a bit bitter/sour towards the finish, didn't seem like a lot of body to me which makes the astringent smokiness near the end not terribly pleasant. Another mediocre beer from this mediocre brewery, sadly.
