Grain Belt Blu Blueberry Lager

Grain Belt Blu Blueberry Lager.
4.7 % ABV. Made with real blueberry juice.
August Schell Brewing, New Ulm, MN.
"Go ahead. Be the blu sheep of the family."

It's time for a blueberry lager. Why? Because it exists and is in my possession. That's the long and short of it.

Well, it ain't blue. It's deep red with a pinkish head, leaving some lace.

In the nose: Fruity. Sweet. Berry-ish, of course. Nice enough.

In the mouth: Sweet and juicy from the start. Malty, smooth, easily drinkable. Barest hint of tart. Stays fresh and berry-vicious without getting too sweet. I'm starting to like it. Can't imagine having more than one, but it's surprisingly tolerable.

A blueberry lager that is tart, balanced, and refreshing. A delightfully sweet twist on the classic American lager.
