This is very similar to the raspberry only with blueberries. The blueberry flavor is a little more subtle than the raspberry. We serve this for a couple of months in the summer only.

Bottled. Hazy golden, huge lively head. Aroma of blueberry jam. Sweetish with light body and clean mouthfeel. Blueberry jam and emptiness. Tinny and basic.

Reviewed from notes. Consumed last Summer.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance had a nice hazy golden orange to amber color.
The smell had a nice blend of sweet blueberry notes subtly combining with a decent wheat malt base.
The taste was mainly sweet with a light wheat kick at the end.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a sessionability that could be slightly discerned. The carbonation was subdued and slightly smooth but yet the wheat that was in this one maintained a certain mildness that wasn’t necessarily expected.
Overall flavorful sweet fruity Summer ale in the blueberry fashion, uh... heck yeah, definitely one of the better blueberry ales on the market these days.

Sampled at the brewery on October 9, 2012Cloudy yellow color, white head. Sweet, fresh, blueberry taste. Berry sugary aftertaste. Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness. Fresh, blueberry scent.

Draft. Unfiltered orange-tan. Thin off-white head that rims the glass. Big blueberry aroma. Light to medium bodied. Enjoyable standard blueberry beer, nice and easy. Not much going on besides the borderline artificial blueberry taste. Sessionable and OK, but not worth bar price.

Bottle from the brewpub. Pours hazy gold with a slight white head. Firm blueberry aroma. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is blueberry followed by wheat. Finishes that way. A good blueberry.

draft at the brewpub - Pours cloudy light yellow and has lots of blueberry in the aroma. The taste is mild and wheaty with very obvious blueberry. I find the underlying beer a bit lacking, but the blueberries are nice.
