Draft. Cloudy, light gold body. Fizzy whhite head. Aroma of grain and dough, but mostly blueberry. The flavor is moderately sweet followed by a lightly bitter, moderately sweet finish. All that is overshadowed by the taste of blueberries. Light to medium body with an overly fizzy carbonation. This beer tastes like you are drinking a blueberry soda pop. Not very good.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an amber color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was strong blueberry with a hint of light malts underneath. THe flavor was exceptionally tart, bitter and tangy with a vague berry note. The finish was short and very tart. Interesting.

12 fl. oz. bottle, bought at the GBBF 2008 for takeaway. ABV is not stated on the bottle, but the festival programme says it’s 4.8%. Crystal clear deep golden to amber colour, moderate head, fizzy. Distinct aroma of blueberries and raspberries, also notes of candy with said artifical flavourings. Thin mouthfeel. The flavour is wheaty with notes of blueberries, otherwise fairly bland with minimal hops. Not very sweet. Drinkable, but not very exciting.

Bottle at GBBF 08. Clear gold, very blueberry on aroma. Really actually quite nice. A little thin, but the fruit seems integrated. Slightly sweet fruit, but better than I expected.

Bottle. Pour is a clear amber with just a bit of a head and lively and fizz-like carbonation. Aromas are thick with blueberries and reach my nose as I just begin to pour. Closer examination reveals that there is something a little funky lurking in the background, but I have no idea how to describe it. Just that it is a little off-putting. Flavor is like a blueberry spritzer or something with a watery beer backbone and a wierd aftertaste. Wheat? where??? Meh...

Tasted with ilovedarkbeer. Aroma is sticky sweet blueberry. Appearence contains some head that turns to nothing. Golden hue body. Taste is a bitter-dry blueberry crumble. Mouthfeel is ultra dry.
