blueberry tans not overpowering. Very enjoyable and easy to drink.

look: 2.75 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3
Pours a golden color with a thin head into my glass. Looks like a typical american wheat to me.
Strong blueberry aroma that permeates the air. I can smell it only a few inches away. I can't tell right away if it's an extract or an artificial addition.
Weak blueberry flavoring makes it a chore to drink. However, it does have a clean footprint thanks to that solid wheat bill.
That solid wheat bill comes in handy for the finish. Inoffensive.
If you want to graduate from the $3.99 canned sixers at Trader Joes, for $2 more, you'll get this. They have other varieties though.

look: 2.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.5
Yellow-tan and mostly clear, head dissipated quickly and no lace was present.
Smell was really, really blueberry, even upon first pop of the bottle cap. Not much else comes through, but the smell is pretty good, tho possibly a slight bit of a metallic note.
Flavor is mostly syrupy blueberry. Little wheat, little of much else besides blueberry, except the metallic taste is slightly more notable in the taste.
Body is thin and more carbonated like soda than the smooth carbonation of a wheat beer. Not especiallly impressed with this one.

Bottle #2 out of the mystery pack from Trader Joe's. I was fairly excited to see a blueberry wheat since I have never had one before. Quite frankly that would have been okay with me.
A-The bottle has an interesting design but I did not pour it into a glass to give a review on color (lazy night).
S-It has a blueberry smell but it has a strange skunky smell that makes it unappetizing.
T-I am rewriting this portion because as I drink more and more the blueberry flavor starts to really come alive.
M-Weak and empty in the mouth but goes down very easily.
O-I could never imagine buying this beer on purpose.
