The beer: Berry Your Blues
The brewery: Aldus Brewing Company, Hanover, Pennsylvania
Description (from Untappd): "Brewed with LOTS of blueberries, this beer is soft and lusciously fruity. Only the slightest notes of bitterness highlight a fragrant berry essence making this the perfect beer to chase away the blues."
Would I buy it again? The main challenge with fruity beers is to ensure that the fruit and beer aspects share the stage equally. You want the beer to still distinctly taste like a beer, but the fruit needs to be more than a suggestion. I am not surprised Aldus Brewing, home of the Pretzel Wheat, managed this dance perfectly. It's fruity without being tart, and it still tastes like a nice, light ale. An overall excellent beer, and one I'll happily buy again.
