BLU VIOLENT is a medieval blueberry ale conceived and brewed with the infamous Brewmaster Brian from Stillwater Artisanal Ales. Caramelized for hours in the kettle, then violently fermented to perfection with tons of blueberry - literally! Just the right amount of lime adds the artistic balance we sought, and a welcome depth of flavor.

Sample, thanks fonefan! Clear deep puple brown. Aroma of honey and blueberries. Extremely sweet with full body and viscous mouthfeel. Like a sweet blueberry mead; Balsamic honey, blueberry jam and extra sugar. Peppery alcohol in the finish. Crazy sweetness, but some redeaming features.

Bottled 650ml. -at Valhalla Zagreb. Unclear murky brown/red coloured, minimal off-white head, sweet blueberry pie like nose with whiff of alcohol. Sweet and almost sticky blueberry pie taste with notes of toffee and alcohol. Light alcohol and subdued fruity without any trace of lime.

Nice fizzy-creamy mediumlasting head, hazy dark reddish color. Aroma is slightly rich sour-ish fruity, sour dark berries, grass, dark sugar, minerals, alcohol, citrus, mild vinegar, fruit stones, berry skin, flowers, raisins. Taste is slightly sweet sour-ish fruity, sour dark berries, dark sugar, fruit stones, dark malts, mild vinegar, citrus, alcohol, minerals, raisins, grass. Medium bitterness, slightly sweet sour-ish fruity mouthfeel. Nice one. If I didn't know what I was served, and was told that this was a Superstition berry mead, I would totally believe so...
