Flavors are a little to subtle.

Pours a pale amber color with a pinkish hue. One finger of lingering white head.
I had to let this warm up a bit to get any aroma. I get mostly blueberry with a slight floral note.
Bready malt flavor with a touch of blueberry. Finishes dry with a slight bitterness.
Overall this is a crisp easy drinking beer but I found the flavors somewhat subdued.

Pours cloudy golden ale with lacey head and notes of blueberries and hibiscus. Easy drinking ale with good balance of added flavors.

Decanted from a 12 oz (355 ml) bottle into a conical pint glass; no production information.
A: Pours a dusky, amber color, almost a pink golden or brass, but refracts almost pink/violet on the pour. Sports a less than half inch, foamy, white head with low retention, but decent lacing.
S: Aromas very floral initially, then reminiscent of a blueberry muffin due to blueberry, bread, vanilla, and caramel aroma components.
T: Blueberry flavor very strong with bread, grain, and grassy flavors in the background; bitterness starts in background, but leaves a somewhat harsh cumin aftertaste.
M: Light bodied with nice retention of carbonation, consisting mostly of méthode champenoise bubbles.
O: Liked the idea, enjoyed the aroma, but started to lose me with the taste. Bitterness seems most derived from fruit rind than hops. Got to work on the aftertaste.

Hands down the best beer this brewery puts out. Clean, refreshing summer beer that can carry over into fall and even winter
