Someone call George Clinton because the Funk is about to arrive. DuClaw’s latest creation, Funk, is a blueberry citrus wheat ale that screams summer with an almost shandy-like crispness and flavor. This brew features Meyer lemons and blueberries as well as Cascade and Columbus hops. Look for this beer on shelves starting next Friday.

Pale yellow color with a strong blueberry aroma. Nice flavor of lemons, blueberry, beer with a crisp finish. Different and refreshing.

Backlog. Pours hazy gold with a small white head. It’s sweet with some mild hops and lots of blueberries, especially in aroma. I’m not getting much citrus. It’s okay.

Hoo boy. Not much here except vague notes of blueberry muffin slowly turning medicinal and nigh undrinkable on the finish. Nope.

Bottle. A- Blueberry, muffin. A- Orange copper color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Blueberry, muffin, malt, mild citrus. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly unbalanced finish. O- At over 1.5 years old that didn't do this any favors. The aroma held up and was reminiscence of a blueberry muffin. This sort of translated into the taste but it tasted more like a stale muffin that was just haphazardly thrown together. Okay I suppose.

Hazy light yellow pour with a white head and fair retention. Minimal lacing. Blueberry nose as expected. Crisp mouthfeel. Taste is acidic blueberry. Not overly fruity but not smooth either. Too seltzer-like.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 3/17/2016. Pours lightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big lightly tart blueberry, lemon, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, light pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of pale malt, fruit, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart blueberry, lemon, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, light pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of blueberry, lemon, wheat, cracker, biscuit, herbal, light pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale malt, fruit, and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Minimal dryness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and slightly acidic/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a very nice fruited pale wheat ale! All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt, fruit, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, easy, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful for the ABV, with a great balance between fruit and malt. A very enjoyable offering.

Weird. Some blueberry aroma, less in the flavour. Aroma is okay, flavour is artificial and quite boring. Disappointing.

Bottle. Clear golden color, white head. Aroma of dusty blueberry and lemon bubblegum. Taste has blueberry, lemon, hay, straw. Interesting.
