Blueberry Shimmer
Columbus Brewing Company

 

From the 12 oz can in a snifter via Bluejacket74! Cheers Dude!
This sessionable little brew pours a blue tinged deep amber with a nice head of off white foam
that settles to a thick ring, thin layer, and sports some nice lacing. Nose of heavy grains
and heavy blueberry with a touch of crust. Flavors follow the nose with toasted malt,
rich blueberry, and a solid grain bill with a touch of herbal hops. Mouth feel is medium
light, medium light carbonation, and a lightly tart and moderately dry finish.

Overall, a solid brew that for a fruited style would be solid for a session.

Cheers

I really enjoyed this one great wheat body tart crisp blueberry mild herbal hop finish. Its everything I want in a fruit beer, Well worth picking up just a couple bucks for the single but it just doesn't motivate me to run out for more.

12 oz can from an Ohio Kroger.

Appearance. Clear bluish-copper colored body with a tall, creamy looking, pinkish-white head.

Aroma. Herbal and slightly fruity wheat ale.

Flavor. Well executed use of blueberries in a slightly tart, lightly bitter ale that has a clear, natural blueberry flavor component.

This brew has been showing up around here, usually with a fairly hefty price tag. We always have a blueberry ale around here (Bumbleberry), and it is popular for good reason. This one is comparable (although I did not compare them side by side).

It pours a nifty blueish tan with not much head persisting. The aroma says scary fruit plus yeasty brew. The taste is a refreshing, fruity lightness with fruit staying in the aftertaste. It is a more delicate taste than the bumble one but not necessarily better or more drinkable. Perhaps more tart.

Recommended. It is not a good value, but a nice change of pace.

12 ounce can, canned on 04/01/24. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a reddish/amber color with about an inch and a half light pink/off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both pretty good. The brew smells like grainy malt, blueberries and a hint of citrus. Taste is similar to the aroma, but I think the blueberry stands out here but without overpowering the grainy malt and citrus flavors. Mouthfeel/body is light, it's smooth and easy to drink with a moderate amount of soft carbonation. Thought this was a decent enough brew, nice for a hot day like this one!
