Aug 23, 2009 On tap at the brewery. Poured gold with a slight blue tint. Aroma was full of blueberries and a bit of tartness. Flavor was a bit overwhelming blueberries and it wasn’t aided by the low carbonation in the beer.

Aug 17, 2008 On tap...Gold lagerish looking beer with very little head. Blueberry flavor is OK, but the rest of the malt backbone has a fake Splenda-like fakeness. No balancing hops are detectable. While not as flat as their stout, this one was also undercarbed. Dissapointing.

Aug 18, 2006 Aroma is a more authentic tart blueberry skin, with edges of vegetal and a core of jam sweetness. Blends well with the malt sugars. Spicy, as if with andouille sausage. Reminds me very much of Fitger’s Blitzen’s Blueberry Porter. It’s all downhill from here. Pour of heavily hazed peach, with gold fringes. Rim of extremely coarse bubbly white head. No carbonation. This beer is 100% flat. That’s horrible. The flavor is a weak soapy malt candy, with artificial blueberries creeping in from the corners. Again, a fake blueberry soap. Absolutely no carbonation. This beer is 100% flat, fresh from the tap. Palate, sans carbonation, is wickingly sweet. Shouldn’t beer be carbonated? At least the blueberry flavor was quasi-authentic.
