Brewed with fresh harvested spring honey and infused with fresh blueberries. A light, refreshing ale with a nice blueberry aroma, crackery malt flavors, a hint of sweetness and a refreshing blueberry finish.

12oz can. Canned on 3/13/25. Total wine strikes again, selling year old beer. I should have checked. So take this review with a grain of salt until I get a fresher sample.
Brewed with Pale malt, Honey Malt, Flaked Barley, Honey, and at least Blueberry puree. Hopped with Sterling. 5.3% ABV, 13 IBU. OG=12.1, FG=2.3
Pours out to a lightly hazy light copper, forming a light yellow head with average retention and sparse lacing. Carbonation is moderate, ~2.75 carbs or so. Nose of cheerios, dust and faint blueberry. Mouthfeel is spritzy with a medium body. Blueberry taste is more apparent than the aroma. Crackery malt. Low bitterness. No hop aroma or flavor. No oxidation/DMS/Fusels. This has stood up well to time. 1 of these is plenty. I image drinking 2 of these would make me feel sick.
An OK beer, but it is well brewed. I'm not a big lover of the style, but it does what it aims for and it's got good blueberry flavor. I would be interested in trying a fresh sample for comparison, but I wouldn't go out and buy a 6'er of this.

Love this beer. This is one of my go too’s when I can’t get my primary beer. I will say it can be a bit filling, so make sure you don’t eat a whole lot before you start drinking them or you will become full and it will ruin your buzz. Other than that, this is a fantastic beer.

Hot damn, was this good...
Found this to be very exceptional - it looked great with some gradients in the glass, smell delicious with a scent that was both sweet and hoppy, mouthfeel was what you would expect, but the taste was what made this special. Though a bit boozy you can't tell (until later) which I always find as a finely crafted brew...

The pour is marmalade colored. The taste is blueberries, grains, baked biscuits, & honey. Cheers! B

12 oz. Can, 12 weeks old. Cloudy, honey hued. Smell is honeyish. Taste is off putting, metallic, blueberry is non existent. Feel is high carbonation.
Overall, not for me. bought this as a single, glad I did.

Really good for what it is, a fruit ale. However, it cannot compete with Fat Head’s IPAs, which are world-class. Bumble Berry is a great summer beer or a beer for people who want something a little less bitter than their IPAs, yet still desire something that has some flavor. Overall, I think Fat Head’s did a great job brewing a fruity beer that beer drinkers looking for that style of ale will certainly enjoy!

Pours a gold color with a minimum head that disappears quickly. Aroma of tangy blueberries. Taste is tangy blueberries and other spices. Crisp and dry.

12oz cans in Ohio.
Amber to gold pour, and almost frothy. Aroma hits you in the face with blueberry and honey.
This is a very sweet tasting beer, and not very bitter. The honey and blueberry flavors work pretty well together, and make this really tasty as a 'once in a while' thing. Great in the summer heat.
