The 3rd Beavertown and Wild Beer Co collaboration, this year it’s a study of Blueberry.We have made a base beer with spelt and buckwheat and infused with bay leaves to give some gentle spice, fermented with Wild Beer Co’s own strain of wild yeast and after fermentation we then added more than a tonne of blueberries.

Bottle from former Molen Beershop, BB 10/06/18, large sample. Hazy pale color with a pinkish glow, big rocky head. Aroma is quite fruity of berries, some funk, bit bubblegum, spicy yeast, bay leaves. Dry in taste, fruity, crisp, not real tart or sourness. Bit thin in flavor. High carbonation, dry, crisp. Nice beer.

750 ml bottle from Ales by Mail.
Copper-pink, hazy body, with a medium, quickly dissipating, fizzy, pinkish head.
Aroma with lots of blueberries, spices, lemongrass, apples, sour citrus, barnyard, slight cheese.
Taste is quite underwhelming, almost a bit watery, with spices, lemon zest, lemongrass, blueberries, some apples, some barnyard, some wood, slight cheese.
Light mouthfeel, with a fizzy carbonation.
Finishes dry, sour, not very aromatic, citric, a bit funky, a bit fruity, with mild blueberry notes.

Nice one, but not so special. The nose is really lovely, with a full blueberry aroma. The taste is quite a letdown though, a bit one-dimensional and too light. Drinks really easy at least. Overall I’ve better sour beers and also better blueberry beers.

Flaska från alesbymail. Smak och doft av blåbär, lagerblad med toner av kålpudding och korvspad. Torr, fin syrlighet, fina blåbärstoner som dock förstörs av alldeles för mycket lagerbladssmak. Gott ändå!

Flaska från alesbymail. En elegant lätt syrlig blåbärsöl som är torr, välavvägd snäll syra, lätt blåbärskaraktär som känns välbalanserad om det inte varit för lagerbladen som tar över alldeles för mycket. Kolsoppa, korvkok, när man väl börjat assosiera förstör det ganska mycket av upplevelsen. Men tänk bort lite lagerblad och den är riktigt bra.
