Refreshing ale served with blueberries in the glass. Pours golden-orange with a fine white head. Aroma of fresh blueberries, blueberry bread (floury), crystallized sugars and pepper. Sweet flavors dominated by mild blueberries with a malty background. Sweet fruity aftertaste with hints of pepper. Light-medium body, creamy and refreshing. Our Blueberry Ale is better enjoyed as an aperitif or with dessert. Keeping an open mind, it fits nicely with food plates which are slightly sweet in flavours (like some Cantonese dishes), or with any meat when served with a fruit based sauce (preferably blueberry, such as our Blueberry Ale Sweet and Mild BBQ sauce offered at our Barnyard BBQ) or with fruits in the stuffing. Some nice pairings: Cheese cake (with or without fruits), crème Brulée, Wensleydale cheese with Blueberries.

Pours blonde. Actually some lacing. Smells a little of blueberry. Some crisp malt. Finishes with light astringency, cloying. Sours on the long term aftertaste. Tall can.

Originally rated February 2006. Thanks to Plug for bringing this one back directly from the brewpub. Pours a slight hazy golden pale yellow-copper colour with a good creamy white head. Retention is excellent and thick foamy lace is all around. A beautiful bouquet of blueberries is let out for the aroma. Hints of pepper and honey are there too. The mouthfeel is watery with a thin body. Blueberry purée is present in the taste, but not as much as in the smell. Not too sweet, but with the touch of pepper. Bitterness is very light in the aftertaste. Served with real blueberries in the glass at the brewpub itself. Reminds me of the Polish brew Lezajsk Pelne which is not a fruit beer, but is real close to this one with the blueberries and pepper. A real good experience.
