pint can. Cloudy reddish-pink pour with a small white head that soon vanishes. The aroma is strong with blueberries. The taste is blueberries, blueberry muffins, sweet cookie dough, and vanilla. There is a fair bit of bitter-tart in the aftertaste. Palate is full and sticky. Finishes long and sweet with lingering blueberry muffins. Overall- OK, but just a tad too sweet for me. When they called this s blueberry muffin beer I did not take that literally, I thought it was creative naming or some other metaphor. I was wrong. (again) That aside its not bad for a novelty beer, in fact its kind of fun.

1 pint can. Pours an orange mahogany with light head. Aromas of blueberry muffins for sure, with vanilla and creamy malts. Flavors of bitter, earth blueberries and other soft tart berries, plus wheaty malts. Nothing spectacular on the flavors, it's pretty typical for blueberries, but the nose is right on the money and unique

Pours hazy deep orange tinged ruby into a tulip. Tan head with excellent retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Blueberry and strawberry aromas. Medium bodied with tart blueberry and sweet strawberry upfront turning to mild dough and muffin in the medium length finish.

Sample at the Brisket and Beer tasting on 11/02/2019. Cloudy orange-gold color with a medium ivory white head that recedes gradually to a film. Stringy lacing. Aroma of blueberry, yeast and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of sweet-tart blueberry, mildly funky yeast and doughy malt. The finish is tart and funky with a blueberry aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Tap @ Great Notion. Pours light hazy golden with a small white head. Aromas of blueberries, muffins, light lactose. Taste has nothing but blueberries up front, some sweeter notes in the back along a lactic tartness, lemony. Fucked up beer but pretty damn nice hah

On tap at Milk & Hops UES. Pours red purple. Blueberry muffins, sweet doughy blueberry muffins, almond, bit of tartness, lots of blueberry. Medium body. Smells exactly like a blueberry muffin, tastes like that but sour. Fascinating, but not super nice.
