Clear maroon red pour with a super pink head. Smell is alcohol, blueberries, and more alcohol. Smells like a combo of cheap gin and stale blueberry pies. Flavor is sweet alcohol and sweet generic fruit flavor. It tastes like a watered down mixed drink served at a sorority party. Thin and bubbly - you just can’t ask for anything more!

Sep 7, 2008 Can’t believe this was an AB beer...damn girlfriend bought it for herself for a night. She didn’t even like it and neither did I. Isn’t like beer at all, more like fruit juice. Seriously, it had a huge pink head. Would not have thought this was an 8% beer. The remaining 5 beers of the 6 pack was left in a friend’s fridge. Poor bastard.

Sep 7, 2008 This in no way resembles a beer - honestly tastes more like a fruit juice than anything. Hard to evaluate as a beer - head was pink and frothy then quickly disappeared, palate is weak and watery, no real defining taste (even blueberry). Don’t go out of your way but if someone has one take a sip because you would never believe this is an 8%.

Sep 6, 2008 Interesting. Looks like grape juice and palate tastes a bit like it, but has very nice lacing. Also the booziness comes through a little and I enjoyed that aspect. Didn’t come off as TOO sweet to me considering the style.

Sep 6, 2008 looks and smells like grape juice. Taste reveals the blueberry and is nicely balanced between the tartness of the berries and sweetness of the beer but after a while it reminded me of a malternative with a shot of fruit wine dumped in. Extra points for the fake brewery name.

Sep 6, 2008 Bottle. Grape Juice? To sweet, felt like drinking watered down blueberry pancake syrup.
