Mario Knows WILD BLUE, Blueberry Lager

wild-blue.jpgWILD BLUE, blueberry lager by Blue Dawg Brewing out of Baldwinsville, New York is an ale flavored with….blueberries! :)

 As I had never seen such a thing before, my attention was gotten. To lure me in was Hyvee’s own liquor department manager. He had recently tried it at the store’s tasting time, and told me that he was actually impressed. So, i bought it.

The pour: an easy trip into the glass with a 1/2 inch head. Yes, the beer is actually purple- tinted. The foam, pink. Looking through it, it looked like a purple-tinted amber. The blueberry could be smelled immediately.

The taste: Boldly blueberry. Nearly a mild, fruity wine/champaign and of course, blueberry flavor. Nothing like any beer i’ve tasted. I enjoyed this at first, but the novelty soon wore off.

Rating: headiliscious &  alcohol-by-volumiscious (8%).    Not tastiliscious
