12 oz bottle. Golden color, medium white head, good lacing. Aroma of blueberry muffin and dirty sweat socks. Taste is slightly bitter, malt, light fruit. A bit unbalanced, but nice enough.

Golden amber pour. Nose is mostly blueberry with a little something extra by way of spices. Flavor is strong blueberry, some malt and sweet caramel. It’s a good beer if you like fruit ales. If you don’t like them, then you won’t like this one. Rated on 4/7/10

Pours an orange gold color with a quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is almost entirely of blueberries, with a thin beery, wheat undertone. Taste of blueberry coupled with its sour side. Some wheat. A little crispy. Kind of tastes like candy... not the really artificial kind though.

Tap @ OTH. Pours golden, white head. Aroma, well, this is blueberry indeed, light malt and wheat. Flavor, as is the case with a lot of blueberry beers, I get this old moldy berry palate that I am not a big fan of, thick grainy blueberry mouthfeel mixed with some hops and very mild roasted malts.

On tap at Blue Point. Transparent, yellow body with very little white head. Aroma is big on the blueberry, sweet, a touch bready. Flavor is mostly pale malts, a little thin, with some berry sweetness on the end. Watery finish. Too gimmicky for me.

This is really good. The nose is all blueberry, maybe more blueberry pancakes than simply the fruit. The taste is rich and pure blueberry, but not overbearing. I’ve had other fruit ales and they often have an artificial, obnoxious flavor to them. Not so with this brew from Blue Point. The berry flavor balances well with the yeasty flavor, making a truly delightful beer.

Doughy, bready, yeasty blueberry aroma, like unbaked muffins. Clear amber, thin vanishing head. Maltier than expected, with blueberries only appearing at midpalate and yielding back to the maltiness. A good combination of seemingly lower quality ingredients.

On tap at Capital Ale House - Downtown on 05/05/2009. Very clear pale amber body with a medium creamy off-white head. Big blueberry aroma with some faint grainy hints. Faint blueberry and dry pale grainy malt flavor. Medium body with moderate carbonation. This would have been much better if the blueberry aroma had followed into the flavor.

12 ounce bottle courtesy of beerbill. Thanks! Pours a hazy reddish color with a small head, decent head retention and poor lacing. Aroma of blueberry, citrus and some bready notes. Taste is primarily malty with some toasted malt notes. Medium bodied.

This fruit beer poured a golden orange colour with a short lived rocky white head. To the nose there is strong scents of blueberries, hopps and other ripe fruit. Maybe a little spice. First taste was sharp with carbonation. Flavours of hopps first then the blueberry. Not overpowering like some other blueberry beers I’ve had. Palate is slightly sweet with berry’s lingering.
