Fine persistent purple pink head on a purple pink amber color body. The smell is buttery and yogourt like. Maybe a slight hint of citrus. The taste is, again, like blueberry yogourt, like butter, or like a blueberry pie with a nice glaze. A nice fruit liquor aspect. Sweet and syrupy, a bit dry. The mouthfeel is good, creamy, thick and complex, but quite drinkable for a fruit beer. A nice surprize, maybe my favorite fruit beer so far.

Big floury, wheaty smell--creamy, with light notes of blueberries. Looks are good as well, opaque brown purple body, with purple, uneven head. Sedimenting at the bottom.

Taste is blueberries and cream granola, perhaps excluding the blueberries. A little sour, not sweet at all. Taste is more milky and grainy than blueberries in any case.

Thick, thick, creamy mouthfeel is barely penetrated by the soft, medium carbonation. An excellent fruit beer--and unique among fruit beers I've tried.

Ingredients: Malts, Hops, Grains, and Blueberries.
