Tried this at a recent visit to CH. According to server it uses the Kolsch as the base, with "lots" of blueberries added. As has been mentioned before, fruit beers when done well can be real good; however, when not properly executed they can be REAL BAD. As you can probably guess, Steve S. got it right here. Besides having a very telltale blue tinge, the aroma was very potent blueberry. The funny thing is that the actual taste, while having a definite blueberry character, was not overpowering at all. The fruit actually complemented the malt and hops quite nicely. Unfortunately, I did not have my growler, but will have it in hand the next time I am there--hopefully tomorrow. Great beer!

Draught @ Brewpub: I've always liked good fruit beers, but this can be an awful style if done wrong. This one was done right. I believe they used 160# of fresh blueberries in this batch: no extracts added for the taste. The beer pours very clear, with a reddish-blue tinge to it. The head is also a bit blue (but not sad at all). It maintained a bit of lacing down the glass. The aroma is quite nice. There is a bit of blueberry to it, but it is not overdone. The blueberries seem to mask any other aromas, so that is about all you get. The taste definitely has blueberry flavor, but is not overpowering. A nice tasty beer is behind the blueberries, possibly their Kolsch. Very refreshing!
