I have had many de Garde beers and I find myself saying the same thing: they are too sour, have no sweetness and the fruit gets covered up by both of the prior. I loved this beer, but if it has even the SLIGHTEST sweetness this beer would come alive.

This was great as usual, but I will say it was probably the most disappointing de Garde beer I have had. It was still great, but didn't live up to the flavors of some of their other fruited bu's. The fruit didn't pop like it does in their others, and I got a weird spice on the finish. It almost tasted like some cinnamon made its way into the beer.

This is 10 times better then their standard "Blu bu". The taste holds a much stronger potent blueberry. Great beer and strong fruit nose by de garde.
