Blueprint
Combustion Brewery & Taproom

 

5 oz. sampler from the brewery. Done well. Generally not my style, but their stock was depleted and I gave it go. Very subtle blueberry notes do not overwhelm. Unexpectedly balanced. I’d drink a pint of this. Not my favorite style, but well executed. Easy to go too fruity, but this does not.

I tried this beer at the brewery with both my wife's brothers as part of a four sample flight. It poured a clear golden with thin white head that left some lace. The scent had faint grain and yeast notes with bold blueberry flare. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with blueberry pie presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

 

32 ounce crowler, filled 4/6/18 with a best by date of 4/9 written on the label. Served in a Combustion Brewing pint glass, the beer pours a clear gold color with about an inch and a half off-white head that stayed around for a while. There's also a decent amount of lacing. Aroma is pretty straight forward, the brew smells like blueberries and bready/grainy malt. Taste is the same as the aroma, it's all blueberry and bready/grainy malt. Combustion says Blueprint is like a liquid blueberry muffin. I'd say that's a good description! Mouthfeel/body is light, it's refreshing and pretty easy to drink with a good amount of carbonation. I like this brew, but then I also like blueberries a lot too. Definitely worth trying if you ever make your way to Combustion, as this is one of their regular on-tap brews there.
