Overall 7.5
Poured from a 500 ml club bottle. Aroma has moderate blueberry notes with some light citrus and pineapple. Faint oak and vanilla notes. Light, earthy and herbal phenolic notes. Pours a hazy, light purplish red color with a small, thin, pink head that recedes immediately and disappears. No lacing or legs. Flavor is moderately acidic with a bit of light sweetness mid palate. Moderate blueberry notes with some light vanilla. Light oak and hints of earthy, herbal phenolics. A touch of citrus and pineapple as well. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent beer. The acidity isn't too sharp and the blueberry notes allow some of the base beer, oak and vanilla to show. One thing really hurting the beer is the minimal carbonation though. The blueberry notes are nice though and lack the weird phenolic note that some blueberry beers get.
