Draft at waterfront - at least I’m pretty sure that’s what it was or it was mislabeled. Poured reddish brown, mild hops etc. Average.

Bottle. I can see why it was called "Kinda Blue". It was golden with a gentle violet hue. The aroma was a gentle whiff of blueberry and the taste was a gentle barely noticeable berry taste.
