The sour beer that tastes just like a Blueberry Muffin. This longstanding classic is made with Oregon blueberries and baked to perfection.

Draft pour, enjoyed at Portland Brew Fest. I really thought I had tried this one before, but I guess not. Cool setting to finally try it in anyway. This beer seems to be the talk of the festival, and I'll try a top 50 in a style brew any day. Pours a bright pinkish red color, the exact color I'd expect in a blueberry beer. People keep talking about the lrecise blueberry muffin aroma, and they are not lying. It is exact, and it picks up from quite a distance. I cannot say enough about the aroma. It's about as perfect as it gets in the style. Taste is a little harsh for me. Really sharp. Huge carb bite. Straw get amount of tart. Acidic. Sweet. Late linger does match the aroma, which is fantastic. I feel like this beer is close to something amazing. Has a few flaws for my taste, but truly unique and enjoyable overall. PS. Probably the weirdest set of numbers I've ever put in a beer rating. I tried my best to explain. It's a crazy beer.

Tap at the brewpub. Im honestly amazed this is top 50 world fruit beers. It was so sickly sweet and i barely got blueberry muffin. It smelt and tasted hugely artificial, of sherbert. Couldn't drink it.

Draught at MBCC, Blue session. Spotty lacing from a bubbly, white head. Hazed warm golden body. Smooth berry skins on the nose. Billberry fruits to the taste profile. Smooth berry-fruits to the ending. Something else and quite alright. (Copenhagen 11.05.2018).

Draught at MBCC 2018, blue session.
Amber, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, off-white head.
Aroma with lots of sweet blueberry juicy, sweet biscuit, vanilla, some nuts.
Tastes pretty similar.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes sweet, moderate sour, with blueberries and biscuit.
Lovely! Indeed like a Blueberry Muffin, without tasting artificial or too sweet. The sourness is pretty moderate. Very quaffable stuff.
