Okay, I really like proper, quality made fruit beer. And I love blueberries. So it's not like I'm dumping on this for being a fruit beer. But I tasted it next to Marin Bluebeery (which rocked), so sorry Boulder Brewing...

A - looks a little copper and light for being a blueberry ale

S - smells artificial and a little medicinal

T - Tastes metallic and medicinal, reminds me of taking cold medicine as a kid, not a lot of blueberry flavor, just a hint of some unidentifiable fruit flavor.

M - Medium bodied with not much going on as far as tannin or balance.

D - I poured mine out pretty quickly and went for the Marin instead (which tasted like fresh blueberry muffins!)

I poured a bottle into a pint glass.

Appearance- Clear amber color with a fingers worth of lingering head. Fair amount of patchy lacing.

Smell- Wheat malt aroma.

Taste- Wheat malt flavor with a light blueberry flavor.

Mouthfeel- On the light end of medium bodied. Smooth with a n average amount of carbonation.

Overall- A decent, simple beer and a thirst quencher. While it is not the best blueberry beer that I've tried, it is not the worst.

Surprising copper color. Small frothy head disappears quickly.

Smells a little of bready malt, a touch of esters and a little danky straw. No blueberries.

Tastes a little like slightly sweet bready malt and some dank, muted wheat flavor. No blueberries.

Light bodied, a little bit "wet". Whatever kind of mouthfeel the contribution of blueberries might make... it ain't there.

A non-descript American Wheat Ale. Maybe they should make one with blueberries someday...

Served in a Lagunitas mason jar.

Well, at least it's only kinda depressed, 'cause dangerous tidings can otherwise result... Anyway, on a more positive note, beer is at hand, and it pours a clear sunrise amber topped by a finger of off-white foam. The nose comprises buttery biscuit, plastic-y blueberry syrup, and some light perfume. The taste brings in more of the same, though with more butter than berry and a light vein of banana running through the background. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a thin feel. Overall, a fairly sad little fruit beer, another morsel of proof that it's really hard to make a truly good blueberry beer.
