Commercial Description:
Sweetwater Blue is a unique lighter style ale enhanced with a hint of fresh blueberry. When you drink this beer take a good whiff first and you’ll smell the blueberry influence, but on the taste it’s extremely subtle and the finish is extra clean. Ain’t no fruit beer, but it is our breakfast beer, usually folks that are looking to quench their thirst or for those that are new to the “good beer” lifestyle; this is their choice. This brew and the ESB were the original two to go through the tanks at SweetWater in February 1997.

Medals: Bronze medal winner at the 1998 World Beer Cup, Fruit Beer category; Always the funky favorite at any outdoor beer festival

Malt: 2 Row, Wheat

Hops: Centenial

Incredibly refreshing, a light beer with more than a hint of blueberry. The blueberry flavor is not a subtle one.

Sampled @ GDBTF. Pours a thin pilsner type yellow with mild head. From the scent coming off this thing, you’d expect it to be bright blue. Blueberries all the way, and while it’s somewhat more restrained on the palate, and the malts do make an appearence towards the finish, this is really not my cup of tea.

Enjoy at the Mellow Mushroom in Kennesaw, GA for $2.00 (it was Sweetwater Sunday). How could I have possibly passed up a steal like that? Appearance: Pours a clear, golden body with a small, suspiciously creamy-looking white head. Smell: Sweet-smelling aroma of blueberries. Just what you’d expect, really. Taste: Vaguely grainy, wheaty flavor with a pop of sweetness. A burst of blueberry flavoring kicks in a second later along with more sweetness. Finishes, as expected, with a dose of sweetness and more blueberry flavoring. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation. Drinkability: It’s alright, but as with most fruit beers, one helping is more than enough for me. I drank this out of a shaker, too.

At first I didn’t know whether I would like this beer or not. The first time I saw it was in my apartment but it wasn’t mine. If there is a beer in my apartment and isn’t mine that means it is a beer for bitches (my room-mates are borderline homo). But this was a really good beer. The colour wasn’t impressive but the aroma and taste were great. Tasted of blueberries but not like a stupid Smirnoff. I drank this out of a shaker.

Appearance is golden with small white head. Nose is malty with blueberry. Flavor is sweet of blueberry with plenty of carbonation. Finishes with berries and is a little bitter. Mouthfeel is watery with carbonation.
