    Pours very light almost honey colored with hints of a cereal or toasted grain with a nice upfront blueberry aroma. After poured the head diminishes quickly to just a slight patch. The taste is very light blue berry, with a touch of hops and just a hint of wheat finish. It has a real light feel to the mouth and its very smooth. If fruit beer is for you this one is worth a try, very refreshing!!

    A bright golden amber in color. A small soapy textured, white head rises briefly above. There is no lacing on this one. The nose is a faint blueberry. The tasting, a bready blueberry. Nearly watered in body.

    Hard to tell sort of cause had this at a music festival poured in a plastic cup :( Think I am pretty close though. Seemed decent for a blueberry, leaning on the wheaty side vs. the clear/crisp ale like Blue Point's. The fruit is suttle...maybe more so than SeaDog and not as wheaty at their version. Something I would get again, but pref. in a bottle at 6-12 pack price.

    Pretty much as advertised. A golden-like ale with a mild blueberry flavor that wasn’t artificial, nor overbearing. These beers aren’t my thing, but if a mild, light ale flavored with blueberry appeals to you as a description, I’ll bet you really like it.

    An overall satisfying blueberry beer. Golden yellow with a thin wispy head, medium on the pallette - smooth and drinkable. Pronounced blueberry in both aroma and flavor... could possibly go well with pancakes.

    This is a great fruit beer, while I cannot drink many it is a nice change of pace beer when you want a different flavor. The blue means blueberry and that is what it tastes like.

    Nice one finger head that dissipates quickly leaving good lacing. Active carbonation and a blueberry aroma. Smooth and easy to drink, with a good blueberry flavor. Slight wheat flavor and blueberry wheat aftertaste.

    Bursting with blueberries. Pours an unasuming golden yellow with a decent head. Carbination is ok and the flavor is blueberry with a hint of orange. Oh, by the way, did I say it was blueberry?

    Thanks to bluesandbarbq for providing the Sweetwater sampler. Upon popping the cap, the strong aroma of processed blueberries hit very strong; upon pouring, however, the nose fades to milder, fresher berries and fresh grain. Golden-yellow in color with a dense white head that fades quite rapidly. Very soft and smooth mouthfeel, almost satiny. Mild flavors of malt with faint blueberry sweetness and a light hop-tart finish. Very mild and refreshing; not overdone with the blueberries at all.

    Color is a typical golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is not strong, but good for an ale with a decided blueberry overtone. Blueberry flavor dominates the taste, which is otherwise average but tasty and refreshing. A smooth and delightful ale.
