You know its blueberry beer as soon as you’re within aroma distance of the six-pack, much less the actual beer. The nose comes off slightly fake, too dead-on to be the result of purely natural adjuncts, with nothing resembling beer backing up the berry barrage. Tastes mild, never delving into the sweetness implied by the nose. Blueberries play up the finish more than the center of the beer, which is bland American wheat ale through and through. I’m not liking this beer, but it’s growing on me, as it refuses to become cloy as it warms. (8/08)

Bottle at home in London. Kennebunkport IPA. Pours clear, golden-orange with a fading, off-white head. Nose holds some lightly toasted malts, caramel, brown sugar and leaves. Flavor is pleasantly sweet with candy-like sugars, caramel, faint earthy bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finish has some light, resinous pine, more toasty sugar, some maple syrup, and just a nip of alcohol warmth. Overall an easy drinking beer.

Kennebunkport (KBC) Wheat from Trader Joe’s in Fairfax. Poured a clear yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma is wheat grain, touch of yeast notes. Aroma is fruit notes, yeast, grains. It was highly drinkable, but not a lot of taste here.

12 oz bottle as Kennebunkport Blueberry Wheat Ale from Trader Joes in Fairfax Va. Poured like a pale lager.Aroma was full of blueberry. Flavor is blueberry (though slightly "fake" tasting, like candy, but still good), wheat notes. It certainly hit my taste buds and satisfied my blueberry craving.

Bottle. Poured clear yellow with thin white head. Aroma of bread and blueberries. Flavour, light body, a little wheat, a lot of blueberries. Blueberries and some spice in the finish. Not a bad beer, but something didn’t quite gel.

12 oz bottle as Kennebunkport IPA. Pours amber with a white head. Aroma is strongly herbal with honey and caramel tones and a strawberry note. Flavor is biscuity with grassy and herbal hops. A little strawberry note pokes its head in as well. Not a bad beer, but not something to get excited about either.

Pours a dark brown that shows great ruby highlights when held to light. Fluffy off white head that sticks around for a while. Smell is malty, buttery with faint nuttiness. Taste is buttery, and lackluster. A bit of bitterness lingering in the aftertaste. Thin mouthfeel and body. Not all that great for a porter. Maybe a light brown, I missed any dark malt flavors in this one. I can’t see any reason to buy this one again.

Clear gold beer, not much of a head. Soft palate with a little carbonated nibble in the mid. Lagerish mild malt with a strong sweetish blueberry that tastes somewhat artificial. Sweet blueberry crisp finish. Not terrible - grows on you a bit.

bouteille, orange, mousse fine et blanche. Au nez, je note du pamplemousse et surtout du houblon avec des effluves de fleurs et citronnelle. Un peu de malt et de grains. Palais, finement houblonnée avec notes de pin et agrumes dominent un peu le tout avec en retrait un léger voile de malt et caramel. Facile à boire, on penserait plus avoir à faire à une ESB que une IPA.

bouteille, claire dorée, mousse blanche. Arôme est très simple, abricot, sans plus avec qcq notes d’amertume. Au palais, abricot, blé le tout parait un faire usage d’extrait d’abricot. Effervescent et laisse une astringence qui fait grincer les dents, le tout fini avec une douceur un peu sucrée mais qui néanmoins garde une amertume et aigreur sur la fin. Il y a pas mal d’autres exemples de brasseries qui font meilleur usages de l’abricot, cette dernière n’en est pas une.
