look: 3.25 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass.

A: Crystal clear and golden in color. Two fingers of white head sputter out almost immediately. No lacing.

S: Malt base is biscuity and slightly doughy malt base. Fresh and authentic blueberry aroma is the focal point. Very clean and neutral, not much else going on.

T: Grainy malts open. Biscuit. Blueberry flavor takes center stage, but is careful not to ham it up and ruin the performance. Hollow hop bitterness, not really any hop flavor. Very clean and neutral. Quick and dry finish of cracker and blueberry.

M: Light body. Slight firmness. Seltzery carbonation blasts through a creamy texture and adds a crisp bite.

O: It won't win the hearts of hardcore beer geeks, but it's simple, quaffable, and crowd pleasing. I think that's what they were going for too. It's a decent beer that doesn't overstep it bounds. This gives it a leg up on much of the blueberry ale competition.

look: 2.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

A - Pale wheat gold. Very little head.

S - Pleasant blueberry fruit and bready wheat.

T - Light lemon into malt and an accent of fresh blueberries. The blueberry is light and struggles to push through the malt and citrus.

M - Light body. Medium carbonation.

O - Was way better fresh on tap than in the bottle.

**Note - At brewery this beer is served with fresh blueberries which really adds a lot of fresh berry taste, and really helps raise this beer to a higher level.

On draught at Fenway: A very nice light, summer beer. The aroma is that of blueberries, no doubt helped by the addition of some blueberries to the beer.

The color is a slightly darker, golden color. There is a decent amount of lacing. The beer has amedium to lighter body. Actually not too much blueberry taste, except when you chew on a couple of them.

It’s always on my wife's list to drink when we go to Fenway Park (across the street!) One of the better done Blueberry beers out there.
