Beautiful blue, violet and copper-tinted body with a nice, violet and blue head, only a centimetre or so tall, but looks very nice on top. Aroma of blueberries, light icing sugar, some soft malts, a dash of flowers and the smallest dose of alcohol, yeast and bread you could imagine. Light-bodied; Very sweet blueberry flavour at first with a lot of fruits noticeable along with a softer malt backbone and a dash of icing sugar, with a good malt backbone that is still easy-drinking, but provides a nice balance to the fruits and sweetness. Aftertaste shows the soft sugars, a lot of fresh blueberries, some lighter wheat and malt notes, but a crisp and slightly tart, soured quality that works well, especially with how light this is. Overall, this was very surprising on how good this was, especially in the [relative] summer heat here in Alaska - this was a welcome diversion and something that I would have again, especially in the heat! Great to sample, especially on a nice occasion! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Brown Jug in Fairbanks, Alaska on 24-June-2021 for US$2,19 sampled on the top of the Harding Icefield Trail at Kenai Fjords National Park with my daughter in celebration of my birthday on 30-June-2021.
