Draught at the brewery, 9/9/16.
Lightly to moderately hazy, copper-tinted golden body is topped by a small to medium, off-white head with moderate to low retention.
Very strong blueberry in the nose but it’s very much authentic; no concentrate/syrup/whatever here. Obviously the wheat beer element doesn’t add too much, though there is light sweetness from the malt as well as light biscuity notes. The blueberry is juicy and sweet and very aromatic. Beer is clean with no alcohol.
In the mouth it’s fruity, juicy, rather rich in the blueberry department, but with enough malt and wheat softness/substantiality to balance out the blueberry. The beer certainly is rather one-sided in that it’s mostly blueberry flavor, but it’s deliciously authentic and while lightly sweet, the beer still shows good attenuation. Ample, engaging carbonation, no flaw or alcohol. Very well done rendition of a much-maligned, and usually for good reason, style.
