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

Thanks to ckeegan04 for this one poured into a standard pint glass clear yellow body about a finger worth of head that fades quickly to nothing This smells like blueberries pancakes. Taste sweet and blueberry. Light in the mouth good carbonation on the tongue really needs some bitter to this to help it out Good drinkability I think it maybe to sweet to drink many of these in a row. Its an ok brew not my favorite blueberry

Poured a dark yellow/golden color with very little head that was gone very quickly. Aroma is dominated by the smell of blueberries. The flavor is a bit wheaty and the blueberry taste is extremely subtle. This is smooth, refreshing, and a good thirst quencher. Mouthfeel is pleasant. Not something I would drink a lot of, but a nice fruit beer.

Aroma of blueberries obviously, but not too strong...very nice, like blueberry pancakes. Golden color, not much of a head. Flavor is great, faint malt with a very pleasant blueberry taste. No aftertaste. I can’t say enough about this beer or about Sweetwater...I’ll admit I love the things like Dogfish head, Flying Dog Gonzo, Bell’s expedition...but you’ve gotta have a beer that you can drink everyday. This is one of my favorite everyday beers along with the rest of the Sweetwater line...I love it.

Got this at Publix in Florida. Pretty bottle. Seriously, the aroma was quite nice and obvious of blueberries, but not overpowering in my book. The head totally disappeared as I poured, but it had a nice yellow color to it. I’d buy it again.

Draft @ Flying Saucer - Nashville. Golden in the glass with a thin white head that fully diminished. The aroma reminds me of blueberry pancakes. Blueberry and wheat in the flavor with a hoppy background. Light body and soft carbonation.

Light honey color, lots of carbonation, a bubbly off white head that dissipates quickly. Blueberry aroma, not too faint and not overpowering. Very pale malt flavors are sort of watery with a decent blueberry note that never leaves the background. Nice strong blueberries hit the side of the mouth with a crisp effervescence. Finishes decent. Light and drinkable, not really my style though.

Bottled. Poured a light gold with a qwik dissolve head. Very fruity aroma, which doesn’t translate as well to the taste, which has a Fruity pebbles vibe to it.

Didn’t totally hate it, which is a huge compliment coming from me about a fruit infused beer.
