Straight up, it tastes like a blonde ale – easy and crushable. Yet it brings a complexity that captures the flavours of summer. Brewed with real blueberries, this fruit beer is sure to please, year round. This beer is blue…not in feeling, but only in its blue-like purplish-red colour.
The smell of blueberry hits first, slightly sweet carrying with it cranberry and a little raspberry. The flavour offers a slightly earthy taste reminiscent of summer market days where B.C. blueberries are plentiful on every corner. If you let the beer meander across your tastebuds, you’ll taste a tiny bit of animal cracker before it dips back to the berry. There’s a lingering bitterness from Mt. Hood hops to offset the sweeter berry notes, with just a kiss of pine and lemon pith. A simple yet complex pleasure.

473ml can. Pours a clear amber-red with a small, foamy, short lived, off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. Mild, slightly sweet aroma of blueberry, earthy yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, blueberry, earthy yeast and grassy hops in a dry, acidic, slightly tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Meh, a little bland.
