This said "lager," hence I poured into a lager glass, seems only logical and fair for a good review here.
The appearance was a semi-rustic sort of pulled glossy rugged hazy orange color with a slim film of foamy white head which didn't leave much lace.
The aroma had only the "sweetness" of the blueberry but not the "tart" skin I tend to look for when analyzing truly brewed "blueberry beers." Some bready malts quaintly followed in in a lager sort of way.
The flavor was sweet all of the way through with the blueberry and bready notes. Aftertaste was the same.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt on par. Finish was pretty smooth, some acceptable stickiness.
Overall, I didn't mind this one so much for me, but it does make me wonder if they used artificial blueberry sweetener in this which well, hmmmmmm....isn't as authentic on the blueberries as I would have hoped for. Not so sure about this one again.

3-way blueberry beer taste test. 1-Sam Adams Blueberry Hill Lager. 2-Fegleys Blueberry Belch, 3-DuClaw Blueberry Citrus Wheat.

So this was the best of a dubious group.
