Special thanks to GatorBeerNerd for giving me this one as an extra in person at Sexual Chocolate Day. Thanks Donnie!

My wife and I drank this one around every corner when were were on vacation to the Smokies this last summer. Just to please her, I put some blueberries in the beer... just like they served it while on vacation.

A: Poured a crystal clear straw color with a nice 1.5 finger blindingly soft white head that withered away within seconds.

S: A malt blueberry bomb for sure... very bready and lager-like.

T: A bit thin in body, which was especially evident on the finish. However, I admit that I did really enjoy this for what it was. I've tried a could of "heavier" styles involving blueberry, but I've never thought it worked. It works here....

M: Bubbly, crisp, and not in the least bit sweet. The blueberry taste in the brew is subtle, and when you add a few to the liquid, it enhances the flavor two-fold.

D: Everyone I know hates this beer and maybe I have a bit of nostalgia because my wife and I have fond memories of our vacation where this brew was always around. I even looked for big flaws but couldn't find them.

A: The beer is clear pale yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a thin white head that died down, leaving a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of blueberries are present in the nose.
T: The taste very much follows the smell and has lots of flavors of blueberries and doesn't seem artificial. No sweetness is detectable.
M: It feels light-bodied (but not watery) on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is an easy to drink beer that would probably be appealing to the masses.
