Brewed by Sea Dog Brewing (Shipyard Brewing Co.)
Style: Fruit Beer

pours cclear amber with a thin head. Strong blueberry / wheat aroma. Nice mix of blueberry and hef taste. Smooth finish. An easy drinking beer for a hot summer day!

Bottle - Poured a clear amber in color with a very thin white head. Aroma was strong of blueberries and little else. Flavor was a little bit more complicated... lots of blueberry, but also some malty sweetness, wheat nuttiness and hop bitterness in the finish. Although I am not a big fan of fruit beers, this one was not bad at all...

Bottle from a World Maeket Summer pack; Nose is of strong blueberry with some caramelly malt as a backdrop; clear red-tinged amber color with no real head;flavor is blueberry and wheat with a small bit of hops in the finish.

Bottle. Pours too clear; no cloudiness, and it’s too much like an amber in appearance. Aroma is blueberry, as advertised. Flavor is a light blueberry pancake/streudel muffin. Palate spreads the sweetness. Aside from the color ("It’s not blue!" says my girlfriend’s sister), this is a well-made, easy drinkin’ brew.

Sweet berry and wheat aroma. Mild blueberry and hefe flavor. It was the perfect mix without being overpowering. I found this very light and refreshing with a smooth finish.

Most blueberry wheat beers are distinctive and memorable . . . not this one unfortunately. Limited head that quickly dissipates. Blueberry aroma is obvious but oddly thin. By 3rd or 4th sip, can hardly remember it’s a blueberry beer.

12 oz. bottle, from Trader Joe’s - good thing the clerk couldn’t find the single bottle price and only charged me $.50 for this dog of a beer. Pours light amber and clear with virtually no head. The aroma is sweet with blueberries and some wheat, smelling not unlike a blueberry muffin - this is the highlight. Flavor is neither fruity nor much wheaty, but instead is initially bland and reminiscent of wet chipboard, with a bit of citrus and floral hops coming in toward the finish as the only flavorful notes - though albeiit in an unbalanced and unpleasant way. Light body with a small amount of carbonation. Bleah...

Bottled. Pours a medium golden color. Light aroma of canned blueberries. Lightly grainy. Slightly sweet and fruity right up front. Creamy finish with a hint of wheat. Fairly refreshing brew.
