Bottle. Slightly unclear pinkish orange body with a small white head. Aroma has sour berries, smells like some kind of general berries, not able to detect any blueberry specific. Flavor is mils acidic berries, slightly funky and really not so much more. Feels very plain and one-dimensional- Medium body and average aftertaste the same fruity flavor. Perhaps the bottle is a bit out of date even as its within the BBF date?

Can from the LCBO. Pours a slightly hazy light pink, with a small white head. Aroma is light citrus, raspberry, some light cherry, and hints of blueberry. Mouth feel is thin, carb is lively. Finish is lightly tart, berries, and hints of oak round it out. Bright, and crisp, with a soft tarntess, great summer beer.
