L = The brew is a beautiful red/orange/brown mix...hold it up to light, and gold enters the visuals, too. A half inch brown head rose but faded very quickly. No lacing, lightly carbonated, but probably because this was canned from a keg at Discount Drinks in Wyandotte, Mi.
S= Mostly blueberry, with undertones of chocolate and malt.
T = A very tasty brew... blueberries dominate, but vanilla,malt, caramel, grasses, and clean, clear water embrace the blueberries. The flavor is intense and unusually deep for a 5.8 ABV beer.
F = A bit sticky. You need to swallow one more time, lol!
O = Don't let the smell and feel keep you from trying this. Kuhnhenn Wild Blueberry Pancake Ale is quite delicious!

32 oz. growler poured into a snifter.
Appearance - Dark brown with a purple tinge. Purple hue to the head, too. Nice.
Smell - Wow, blueberries. Sweet malts. Legitimately has a pancake batter aroma. Hint of acidity.
Taste - Sweet caramel. Spritzy soda-like flavor at the start. Blueberry is masked at the beginning, but comes back with a slightly acidic twang. Pancake grain flavor in the back. Maple sweetness? I might be making that up.
Mouthfeel - Sweet and a little acidic at the same time. Medium body. Medium low carbonation.
Overall - This is excellent. I'm about to pour some bourbon barrel maple syrup into it. This should be even better.

On tap at Beer City, North Babylon NY
A - Dark color with a very distinguishable purple hue. Carbonation on this is minimal once in the growler; the pour from the tap was foam for a good 30 seconds. No lacing of note and the foam retention is minimal.
S - Clearly the best part of this beer. Strong notes of sweet blueberry dominate the nose. And I'll be darned if there isn't a scent of pancake batter. The yeast gives off a bit of diacetyl, but this is really an impressive smelling beer. Blueberry beers should take note.
T - Very sweet right from the initial sip. The lingering notes of light grains give this beer a bit of a fresh bread flavor (thus the pancake batter). Finish unfortunately has a slight cough syrup aftertaste. Overall this is a fun tasting beer.
M - Gotta tone down the drinkability for the sweetness and medicine aftertaste. It is light drinking and with virtually no carbonation. Probably a joy for wine cooler crowds.
O - I'd get this again. Might be the best blueberry beer out there. Good to try as a benchmark, and to come back to for a sugar rush.
