Blueberry Cream Ale
Cheboygan Brewing Company

16 oz can from Michigan ($2.99).

There's a hint of blue in the clear golden body. There's more than a hint of blueberries in the aroma and flavor but not so much as to overwhelm the base cream ale. Significant but mild bitterness.

L = Unattractive. An ugly yellow, with subtle green, blue, and dirty shadings. Modest head fades quickly.
S= Things improve here. Sweet blueberry is overriding peach, coconut and hops aromas. stong and pleasant.
T = Decent. Blueberry, with sour apple, and hops underneath. Neither exceptional nor objectionable.
F = Somewhat sticky. Not surprising, as there is a haziness of pulp sediment.
O = It is a decent, refreshing beer. Drinkable. Just don't look at it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nose is wheat and blueberry. Feel is thin, what you would expect from a fruit ale. Taste is all blueberry, bread, and cream. I enjoyed this one for sure.

 

 

Pours a hazy straw yellow with a foamy, long-lasting white head. Aroma is blueberry, and so is the blueberry. The lactose adds some creaminess, but not too much sweetness. The blueberries also smell and taste like real blueberries were used. Highly-carbonated with a light, crisp body. Well-done.

Thanks Chris.
This was poured into becher pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-hazy orange color with a small cap of a little white foamy head. Mildly dissipated to leave some sporadic lace.
The aroma had some sweet blueberry creamy tones with some vanilla/lactose-like character delving into some biscuity tones.
The flavor definitely leaned towards the sweet side to drop all of the way into creamy sweet tones. Mild afteraste of blueberry cream, somewhat like coffee creamer.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation and ABV felt on par. Very creamy finish with sweet blueberries.
Overall, doesn't seem like real blueberries were used in this. That's a shame since Michigan is a leading state of the nation of producing blueberries.
