On tap at The Gahan House as part of the sampler.
Pours a murky light golden color with a hint of blue in it and a smallish head that dissipates almost instantly.
Aromas of licorice, blueberry and spice with a slight menthol or medicinal bite to it.
The flavor contains all the flaws from the aroma.
Not very good, I couldn't finish my sample.

Pours a dark-ish golden orange, hazy and unfiltered, with a finger thick white fizzy head that dissipates quickly.

Blueberries up front, followed by wheat, cereal grains, pleasant grassy floral hops.

Light, gentle blueberries hit first and then peak in the middle, fading gently in the end into some crispy malty notes. There is both a watery note throughout that adds to the crispiness, but also a slightly fresh, yeast cereal depth to some sips. Quite enjoyable

Light bodied, moderate carbonation with strong prickliness on the palate. Nice grainy finish with mild hot of blueberries.

It delivers on what it promises — a blueberry ale, unfiltered wheat, crisp and refreshing. It’s not a super complex wheat beer, but I don’t think it’s trying to be. Definitely refreshing, enjoyable, and the blueberries are nice with the lightest spritze of tangy sweetness. No syrupy flavours, majorly better than Kronenberg. Good stuff

Look: Lovely light orange with golden hues. Opaque and slightly hazy. Head pours a fluffy white, one finger high. Good retention, after 5 minutes there is still a slight skim of head over the top.
Smell: Fresh and light, with blueberry and malt notes. Could use to be a bit stonger.
Taste: Light blueberry comes through in the middle to the end. Slightly watery, with a very pedestrian wheat beer front end.
Feel: Light bodied, and mild. Stimulates the palate more than the tongue.
This beer is very subtle and gentle. It doesn't hit you over the head with the blueberries. They are well integrated and blended. The blueberry flavour is very natural, not extract like at all. Definately a summer sipper. Well put together, albeit not exciting. It earns a solid B to B+

The feel of this al e was a lot better than what I've tried previous. It brings a nice subtle hint of blueberry on the aftertaste. It's not super pronounced. The ale itself was very good overall but personally I would pick something else but if your looking for a spin on a classic, this is it.

Pours the colour of a normal beer, no blue or purple colour at all. The smell is blueberries all the way. The taste is like an IPA with blueberries smushed in. Quite nice actually. This is the best blueberry beer I’ve tasted so far and I love blueberry beers.

Golden with an almost imaginary hint of purple blue, no head to speak of, cloudy and lots of carbonation.

Smells of a slight fruity berry quality, wet dog and malt.

Tastes of blueberry, catnip, and malts.

Light body, lots of carbonation.

Got at LCBO today, drinking on Lake Rousseau, May 23rd, 2018. Decent offering.

From a 473ml can served at 12 degrees Celsius into a weizen glass.

Look: Meh. The beer pours a veiled, golden amber with 3 fingers of white head that fully disappears within two minutes. Poor lacing. It doesn't get much more unexciting than this.

Smell: Mild intensity and balancing towards sweet. Fruity with notes of blueberries. The idea of faint pale malts and hops exists. Very one-dimensional.

Taste: Blueberries with a citrusy undertone. Mild, grainy pale malts. The finish is short and sweet.

Feel: Light body with relatively mild carbonation. Not enough effervescence.

Overall: A lackluster for me I'm afraid. Yes, I enjoy the blueberries but that's about the only thing this beer offers. The appearance, aroma, and mouthfeel are all rather characterless. I can see how this fits within the sessionable thirst-quenchers for summer patio season, but I'll look for something more interesting instead.
