Lewin Farm Series American Ale W/ Blueberries
North Fork Brewing Co.

Pours a clear cherry-blue, pretty similar to Robitussin; brief 1" of fizzy blue head that quickly falls to a thin ring; light streaks of lace. Nose is blueberry jam, sweet fruit, wheat thins, and very trace hit of grassy hop character. Taste doesn't have too much berry flavor, however - kind of surprising given the look and smell. There's light, slightly tart fruit up front, vaguely artificial in a commercial jam kind of way; from there, grassy bitterness cuts off the berry flavors, but doesn't assert itself too much. What's left is a vaguely muddled, mildly bitter and flat flavor. Feel is really crisp and clean, and one of the highlights here. These two elements just didn't mix for me.

A nice quaff on a hot summer day. A little disappointed, was expecting a more fruity, blueberry forward taste.
