12 ounce bottle. Shaker glass. Golden with a thin head. Aroma - blueberry muffins. Taste was something like a pale lager with a hint of artificial blueberry flavoring added. Thin mouthfeel. Not very good.

Draught. Golden pour. Aroma of blueberries and sugar. Taste of blueberries with some yeast. Sweet aftertaste. One and done with this, way too sweet for a session.

Bottle. Watery orange color. Very powerful smell of blueberries. Decent taste. A little too carbonated and a bit too watery. Very faint flavor of blueberries and honey. A bland and somewhat boring beer.

SeaDog BluePaw Wild Blueberry wheat ale pours a crisp and clean golden orange with decent carbonation and a small white head, it gives off slight odors of wheat and alcohol and tastes slightly sweet, very very smooth and blueberries are there and they taste natural, the aftertaste reminds me of sunday morning pancakes, sweet with the blueberry flavor lurking right behind it. this is deliscious! I have a serious urge to eat some blueberry pancakes, waffles and muffing and drizzle it with blueberry syrup. I’d call this a dessert beer, not a ballgame beer or a hot day beer.

Nice rich golden color, with a bit of white head. Smell is almost exclusively blueberries and a light metallic smell as well. Crisp taste, but watery and very lightly flavored. Noticeable blueberry taste, but also a bit cardboardy/bland. Perhaps it wasn’t the freshest... Not good but drinkable.

The blueberry scent hits you instantaneously. Pours a golden color with a light head. Has almost a lager-like quality. Light going down.

Pale orange color, the aroma and flavor of blueberries isn’t overpowering, but it masks everything else. It tastes kind of like a liquefied blueberry muffin.
