"First beer from Maine for me, best enjoyed before November 2010 (notched on the side of the front label). Pours a clean golden-amber colour with a white head that disappears at average speed and no lacing to be found. On the other hand, a little coat tops the brew. Slow tiny-bubble carbonation with a thin watery mouthfeel. Big nose of blueberries with notes of the wheat. The wheat is more noticeable in the taste, and the blueberries are still there, but what is interesting is the rich honey that comes out in the aftertaste. A very nice fruit beer. Just wish they would not filter it."

"When I smelled the nose on this beer, my inital reaction was...Whoa! That’s some serious blueberries in that nose. Thinking that the aroma would blow over, I was very pleased to find that it kept the same blueberry profile thru the entire beer. Sure it was one-dimensional. Still, for a beer to say blueberries and then deliver said blueberries on the nose is pretty cool. The rest of the beer was average at best.
The appearance was a clear medium gold color, with a ultra thin whispy cap that eventually went away completely. Mouthfeel was thin. Flavors had a nice refreshing dose of blueberries, but it was also soapy. Reminded me of some kind of foo-foo, girly body soap my wife would use. Easy to drink the first one, but I’d think that after one the blueberry assault would get a bit old."

[4] Review by Jabah from Fort Pierce, FL, USA who has tried this beer many times. (5/20/2009 10:11:40 PM)
"This is one of my favorite american wheat beers. Although they label this here as a fruit beer, it really is more like a wheat. Not nearly as fruity as some other fruit beers, that mainly add fruit in. I believe this beer uses the blueberries in the brewing process, so doesn't have that overwhelming flavor, but noticable for sure. Pours a pale yellow, slight golden color. Decent carbonation, not slightly flat like some other wheats. Am always looking out for this at festivals."

[5] Review by CityBoy1986 from Columbia, MS, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/12/2009 8:17:09 PM)
"Poured into a pint glass from a 12 oz. bottle. The freshness date is March 2009.
The pour is a pale golden with a finger's worth of white head. Retention is very low, and lacing is minimal.
The nose was simply wheat and blueberries. The taste was more of the same, but at times the wheat outshines the blueberries (at the start and finish of the sip) while the blueberries command the majority.
The mouthfeel is thin with plenty of carbonation. Drinkability is nice; I could have a few.
I probably should have tried this beer at the beginning of the week when temperatures were in the eighties as opposed to the forties. That said, this wouldn't be a bad beer in warmer temperatures, but it's not something I'll keep on hand."
