Cloudy reddish amber color with a modest pinkish head.
The aroma is sour blueberry and lemon with just a touch of fresh bread dough.
The taste is along the same lines with the lemon coming in first followed quickly by tart blueberry and then a bit of bready malt. The finish is dry and crisp with lingering lemon zest
The body is medium, good level of carbonation, crisp and nicely drinkable.
Altogether, this is a tasty and refreshing brew, lemon and blueberry makes s nice combo, very nice.

It has a nice golden color, almost pinkish with some haze to it. Definitely one of the more curious beers I have seen color wise.
It has a fruity almost citrus/sour smell to it.
It tastes like a wine/juice with some sourness to it
A very straightforward feel, flat and crisp.
This is a very interesting beer I can't say I've had anything like it before. It's almost like I am drinking a glass of wine. Overall, not bad would definitely give this one another try purely for how different it is to drink.

Pours damn near pink; almost a violet / magenta color thanks to the blueberry. Not a ton of aroma outside of stone fruit notes and citrus. Tastes like blueberry, lemon zest, and slightly cilantro. Overall very crisp and refreshing - great one to grab one a hot day.

Time for another review in the series of "a girl I date might like this beer so I bought some". Slightly higher than average expectations given prarie's proven track record.

Pours kind of a pink meets blueberry = some purple kind of color. Thin head, lighter pink off white. Body looks thin.
Heartaches and bad decisions. The smell of of blueberry and a lemon like sourness. Not much else. Straightforward, simple. No wood, no funk.

Taste, its sweet, sour level is like a 4 on the 10pt scale. Decent mouthfeel, carbonated above average. Blueberry and lemon sourness. Light, thin body, possible wheat given its levity. Its easy to drink and far from a chore. Its not super discernable as specifically as "blueberry" but it has that berry/fruit thing going for it. Malt body very thin, but its a berry showcase for the most part.

I think this is a decent beer for what it is, something fruity and mildly sour, you know people who would rather have this than most other styles of craft beer.

Tastes identical to Lost 40’s Blueberry Muffin-disappointing in the way a caramel rice cake kind of way.

Aroma is fruity berries. Taste is very sour fruit flavor. Brewery is way too proud of their beer. I won't have anither.

Taster at Bittercreek. Violet pour, small bubbly head . Fruity aroma, mild tartness, more grape than blueberry. Taste also seemed like grape juice, fruity, soft tart notes.

Pours a little darker then a blood orange hue and has a slightly pink head. Mainly sour smell with some lemon in there. Defientely sour tasting but not overwhelmingly so. More of a lemon sour then a blueberry id say as the blueberry flavours are not very pronounced. Overall a good sour but not many other flavours going on

Cool artwork on the can and I was grabbing singles of anything summery and blueberry for our first real Spring day in Philly today from The Bottle Shop.
Pours almost blood orange. Reminds me of my grandmother's sun tea. Nice lace on top, nothing special about the look.
The nose was my favorite part. Some sours give me something very slight that is almost curdled, as opposed to what I assume brewers are trying to cultivate in a sour. Not this though. Blueberry, lemon, something malty but it's hard to detect. Some type of sweet bread or cracker.
I don't want to be unfair but I was kinda disappointed with the taste on this. Very little blueberry. Some citrus, some of the malt. Not bitter but definitely sour. I wasn't thrilled.
It's dry, it's sort of lager crisp. Finish is okay.
Overall I don't think it's a complete failure if one is looking for a sour. However, when you're painting a blueberry on your can and you have blueberry in the name of your brew, maybe you want to make sure there's enough blueberry.

Pours purplish brown with a medium white head on top. Can taste tart blueberry with a graham cracker crust at the end. It’s a little watered down but the taste is there

Two full disclosures - 1. Prairie is one of my most favorite brewers; 2. Sours ae not my cup of tea...

The beer really looked good, a light red to dark pink color that was actually appealing to my eyes. The rest of it? Well, the smell was all pure sour, the mouthfeel was astringent, very much so, and the taste was just a sour flavoring of blueberry - just too much sour for me. This beer might very well keep me away from sours for quite some time...

12oz can. Bottom has stamp of 'CANNED ON 03/29/23'.
Murky, pomegranate red colored body. Brief pinkish head, but an island persists. No lacing.
Aroma is berry and lemon.
Taste is a dense layering of lemon and berry. The berry is strongly blueberry, but hints of strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry. Also a bit of rhubarb. Long aftertaste is mellow and continues the same layered blend.
Thicker than medium mouth feel. Supportive carbonation.
Expertly executed sour ale.
