Hidden in the Lake of the Woods region on a small back lake there exists patches of berries usually reserved for the discerning palates of black bears. This beer is subtle with a clear fruity nose. Muted blueberry, low bitterness and medium body. Although high in ABV, its finish is smooth and well-balanced.

Hazy bluish amber with moderate off white head. Blueberry, caramel malt, and straw aroma. Mildly sweet blueberry, caramel malt, mildly sour citric acid, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body. Nice sweet-tart blueberry flavor.

Tap at the northern ontario beerfest. Hazy purple/pink pour, with an off pink head. Aroma is subtly sweet, notes of plums and soft blueberries with some slight cereals. Mouthfeel is light and quite fizzy. Finish is slightly boozy, with low bitterness and more dark fruit, and berries.

473ml can. Pours a murky amber red with a medium, foamy, short lived, off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. Aroma of grainy pale malt, blueberry, funky yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, blueberry, light alcohol and floral hops in a dry, tart, slightly acidic finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Just ok. This beer is best Forgotten.

16 oz. can from Withey's Health Foods in Kalispell, MT. Pours a cloudy dark gold color with a large off white head and very good retention. Good lacing. Lots of streaming bubbles. Sweet light blueberry aroma. As stated on the can, the blueberry flavor is very muted. Maybe TOO muted. Otherwise the flavor is fairly generic. Medium body with a little pulp. Low bitterness. Highly carbonated, crisp mouthfeel. The 7.1% ABV is fairly hidden, but you can feel it in the finish.

This blueberry ale poured a disturbingly rose colour with a fizzy white/pink head. Scents include light fruit juice, carbonated water and sparkling wine. First swig was not as carbonated as expected. Smooth but a little sour on the palate. Light flavours of blueberries, malt and hops. Finish is a little bitter with that sour flavour lingering.

Murky pink-amber colour with a pinkish small head that don’t last long and no lacing is left. Fruity sweet nose with hints of sourness and chocolate. The sourness also felt at first in the taste is reminiscent of infected beer. Not sure what the rest of the flavours really is?? Not much blueberries here. Some fruitiness, but not a well-balanced brew at all. More like "Forgotten Blueberries".
