Vibrant blueberry and tropical mango flavors dance on the palate with a lingering sweetness and a warm finish.

I definitely believe that Big Boy is better than plain Blue...
The added ABV just makes this so much better, and though you don't taste the 10%, let me tell you, it is something you will feel without a doutbt. Great little brew...

Poured from a 12 oz can into a tulip glass.
A nice looking beer, medium to dark gold with just a hint of pink and a small amount of haze. Tons of bubbles constantly streaming upward into a fluffy, off-white head. Interesting aromas are like a bread-like and slightly herbal golden ale with strong fruit notes like mango and berry. Flavors emphasize berries, with any malt and hops at much lower levels and no noticeable yeast character. Medium body with some residual sweetness. Full carbonation. Hops bitterness is not apparent, but neither is the absence of it, so it must be there at a moderate level underneath the fruit and malt sweetness. Alcohol is warming, but not as hot as might be expected for the ABV. This is a decent beer, but ultimately a little disappointing to me. The fruit addition is nice, but there are not enough interesting elements that shine through from the big base beer to really make this a true complex, sipping beer. At the same time, it is not light and crisp like so many fruit beers meant to refresh you on a summer day. This one can't seem to decide what it wants to be.
