Belgian Wit in style, but brewed with a lager yeast strain and a top-note of blueberry added (info directly from the Leinenkugel Bros).

This is my go to beer. Most people like something lite with a watery taste for activity drinking, I like this. Goes down smooth and is watery enough, to think I’m hydrating on those hot summer days.

Strong fruit smell and taste. Did not like. Nothing like Boulevard wheat which is actually good.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours hazy yellow orange with a fluffy white head. Smells of bright fruit, not much wheat. Tastes of very fake fruit with some wheat. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a slightly below average beer.

Can into Imperial Pint
Look: Hazy gold yellow pouring a 2 finger head which dissipated into a thin cap
Smell: Blue berry muffin with a spritz of orange zest
Taste: Whole wheat blueberry muffin with a hint of orange. Smooth finish with a orangey malt aftertaste
Feel: Light-med body, silky texture with gentle carbonation
Overall: Smells just like it tastes. Good brew

Pours out of the can a slightly hazy gold with a finger of head with minimal lacing. Smells obviously of blueberries and specifically fruity pebbles cereal. Tastes crisp and fruity as well but not as comical as the smell.

L: Cloudy, light amber. Nice head, fizzy with lasting lace
S: Did someone spray blueberry air freshener? Blueberry from three feet away and close in an orange peel and a bit of the Trix cereal.
F: A little foamy cream with slightly bitter wash. Mostly water/light.
T: Blueberry is the strongest flavor but not overly so. Gotta be orange or tangerine but with the corn backbone and a slight bit of licorice.
O: Found this at my bar and then bought a twelve. I like this as a switch from light beers or most adjunct beers. I'll get it again if they bring it back next year.
