Ultraviolet Blueberry Cobbler Ale
Cabin Brewing

Appearance - Pours a strawberry colour with three fingers of blush head.

Smell - blueberries, oatmeal, lemon, biscuity malts, earthy and leafy hops, and earthy yeast.

Taste - blueberries upfront then quickly goes into the lemon, oatmeal, and biscuity malts. The hops and earthy earthy yeast round out the brew.

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes dry with the blueberries and malts lingering.

Overall - A highly sessionable fruit beer that delivers on the blueberry front. This one is definitely a patio crusher.

8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - my introduction to this latest Cowtown brewing concern.

This beer appears a murky, medium dishwater 'colour', with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent hanging curtain pattern lace around the glass as things quickly progress.

It smells of mushed blueberries, bready and doughy cereal malt, a hint of earthy yeastiness, and some ethereal leafy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, some indistinct dark berry fruitiness, sort of phenolic yeast, and more understated earthy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of trouble at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the berry tartness exhibiting the most lingering moxie.

Overall - this does come fairly close to emulating the titular confection, if you dunked the latter in a wan pale ale, that is. Still, an interesting offering from right out of the gate, and hopefully a sign of good things yet to come.
