Sea Dog Blue Paw Wild Blueberry Wheat Ale

Brewed by Sea Dog Brewing (Shipyard Brewing Co.)
Style: Fruit Beer
Topsham, Maine USA

The pour was a dull but clear copper color with a short white head and virtually no lacing. The aroma was artificial blueberry and wheat. Took me back to my Boo-Berry Crunch cereal days. The flavor is more of a grind. The flavor is artificial fruit flavoring over a pedestrian lager. Better cold. Thin body. Drink it fast as many flaws emerge when it approaches room temperature.

Ahhh. Nothing says quality like a 67 cent beer.

Huge blueberry smell from the get go. Dumped out no head, orange gold brew. Huge blueberries, some straw, fragrant. Taste is quite dry with weak blueberry with no where the power of the aroma. Wheaty stuff, slight citrus. Thin sort of, finishes with slight fruit and leaves the mouth sort of dry. Needed a lot more wheat. Totally drinkable but not more than one. ----> 67 cents. <----

Pours an orange amber body with an off white head. Artificial candy sugar candy blue berry, sweet like sugar. Dry and thin with well more sweet notes.

wow. smells like the cereal blueberry morning, if anyone’s had it. dried bluebeeryu. medicine. juice. sweet.

Updating this rating based on a 12 oz bottle I got from: September 2009 Beer of the Month Club, 10/22/09
(My original rating was 2.2.)

Aroma: The aroma is overwhelmingly blueberry, hard to find much else beyond that
Appearance: Pours a clear golden-yellow color with a small, bubbly white head
Flavor: Like the aroma this is a very sweet and blueberry beer, some wheat flavors too
Palate: Typically light body for the style, a bit on the overly carbonated side
Overall Impression: I get the appeal of this beer, don’t get me wrong, bit for me it is just too sweet. If you take a wheat beer, completely overwhelm it with with sugary sweetness and blueberry flavors, you would get this beer. It may be a drop interesting, but it is just too sweet for a beer.

I liked this one. To me, this is one of the better blueberry beers I’ve had. Has a pale golden color. Smells of blueberries and wheat. Taste is very smooth. It’s made up mostly of blueberries. A pleasant experience. I can see myself drinking alot of these.

Bottle. Pours an orange amber body with an off white head. Artificial candy sugar candy blue berry, sweet like sugar. Dry and thin with well more sweet notes. eh.

I does taste good. Light and refreshing. It’s like blueberry soda crossed with a clean wheat beer. Best blueberry beer I have had so far.
