Pour is a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is a blast of fresh blueberrys. I can smell this from across the room and now im in the mood for blueberry pancakes. Flavor is not as good as the aroma but blueberry juice is nothing i want to drink. It does have some berry and yeastyness. Not quite a wheat, more like a lager with blueberry flavoring. Wierd beer.

Golden ale with a thin white head. Intense blueberry pulp aroma, not chemical, fresh. In mouth, a crisp malt, with diacetyl and blue berry extract, like gum. Medium bodied. Refreshing. Mondial 2006.

bottle - Meh. Pours clear and yellowish with a head that very quickly fades to nothing. It smells like blueberries. Who would have thought? It tastes like blueberries. Big surprise there! There’s very little else in the flavor. This is like Shipyard’s weak, watery Summer Ale with some blueberries added. The finish is wet and kind of refreshing, but that’s about all I can say for it.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Candyshop aroma with notes of some sweet fruits. Flavour quite the same, but more to the direction of for instance Red Bull or Battery energy drinks. Only weak hints of malts and hops.

Best before 11-2005 bottle consumed 8/13/2005. Pours very bubbly. Big bubbles, no head whatsoever. Golden-cider/apple-juice colored. Smells like blueberry puree, with some hints of wheat sourness/dryness. Tastes like blueberry essence. Dry wheatiness, no yeast or hops. Barely any malt. Sharp, forced, overcarbonation. Touch of honeyish malt on the end, with some light fruit acids. Decent blueberry flavor, with little to no beer aspects. Fizzy, no complexity. Gets more bland as it warms. Filtered, which is a sad thing, to see a filtered wheat beer. Won’t have to drink this again.

Clear golden color with minimal head, large bubbles, though - full blueberry aroma, but it seems a tiny bit artificial - thin-flavored but quenching - a tiny bit grainy with a large blueberry presence - nothing very "wheat ale" about it - just the slightest bit of bready malt gives a "blueberry muffin" sort of taste to it - Blue Point’s blue berry ale is nearly identical stylistically, but superior in every respect.
