Blueberry Muffin
Great Notion Brewing

Blueberry, vanilla, and raspberry notes. Vanilla, and blueberry aroma. Medium tartness. Quite sweet, a candy-like, but not cloying sweetness.

Light-bodied. Simple, but well-made. Taste just like a blueberry muffin! Delicious.

 

 

 

Look - Pours an ugly opaque redish pink color with a decent head.

Smell - Mostly a blueberry smell. Not bad, but not great to me either.

Taste - A mildly sour yet sweet blueberry flavor. Pleasant, but again not great in my opinion.

Feel - Nicely carbonated, very easy drinking at only 6%ABV. Not too sour, though it's a bit more sour than I like.

Overall - A decent fruited kettle sour, though I'll admit I haven't tried many.

Intense, pink color with a medium-sized, pink head. Blueberry dominates the aroma as expected. Tart taste full of berries. Refreshing and easy to drink.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from 16oz can into a dimpled mug. No date on the can that I can see.

Appearance: kind of a dark salmonberry pink with a light haze and a thick head of slightly pinkish foam. It's actually a lot more restrained than I was expecting!

Smell: well, just opening the can I can instantly smell Jiffy blueberry muffins. Upon closer inspection, it is moderately sweet, very slightly tart, and with a solid blueberry aroma. Much like the appearance, this is much more restrained than I had anticipated.

Taste: a light tartness paired with a moderately sweet malt and a nice blueberry flavor that is earthy and stops just shy of candylike. As I sip, I get more of the "muffin" element as well as the blueberry ... it's nicely done.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: this beer is nowhere near as over-the-top as other examples of this style, and for that I give it credit. A pretty darn drinkable blueberry beer -- if that's your thing!

 

 

 

I believe it was leftpaw who brought this can out, Thanksgiving some year. Details. Ruby, don't take your blueberry beers to town.

Pours a yellow with blueberry influence kind of color. Get pinked. Well actually it is more red than pink, red body w some purple bluey to it, pink head, 1/3". Aroma definitely corroborates the commercial tug job and titular namesake, its all blueberry up in here, up in here.

Taste hits the usual fruited kettle sour zone of feels. Not sure why the score is so high on this one. On the plus side, its not overly sour, boozy or acidic. Ok so its definitely above average for mouth feel on a kettle sour. Or any American sour I guess. Plenty of people like these straightforward kind of beers, and I do to depending on the mood and weather.

Overall it delivers on what it says it is. Not sure on the pricing. Don't think I really would want four or six of these for myself, but I definitely know they're popular and good enough that they'd get crushed on the river.

Wow delicious fruited sour! Smells just like a blueberry muffin with a great body mildly sour and cake like aftertaste.
