Great blueberry beer that is not overwhelming with blueberry flavor. what sea dog does well is have the fruit pop out towards the end but before you swallow. Very well balanced and refreshing. This is the perfect beer to hang out in the backyard and is drinkable enough to pound down a few and not get tired of it

Serving type: on-tap

I think this is the second Sea Dog I've tried. The first was an odder fruit to put in a beer (but what fruit isn't odd to put in a beer?) - apricot - but this one doesn't work quite as well. Maybe the blueberries were over-ripe.

The brew is a nice color - nothing odd. It has a fairly weak head.

The aroma is over the top. It smelled like a jar of preserves as I poured it. The taste is almost not over the top, but it is excessively fruity. The fruit taste is out of balance and over powers everything else. It also is a little off. This is especially evident in the aftertaste, but it's everywhere, the aroma too.

While still refreshing, I hate to say that I liked the apricot better.

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a light golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is bursting with blueberries, very fruity. Taste is tart, wheat, some berries but not overwhelming with them, easy drinking. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a pretty good beer.

Serving type: can

I had this on tap at Jerry Remy's Seaport. I was looking to try something new, and somehow didn't realize that this would be a blueberry beer from how it was labeled. I actually like fruit beers probably more than most on this site, but generally try to stay away from blueberry. As far as blueberry beers are concerned, this one is slightly better than others I've had (for instance, it didn't have actual blueberries floating around in it when it was served to me). Anyway, the color is pretty enticing with a deep gold and a short, soft head. The berry flavor is a bit strong for my liking, though. Just a little too sweet.
