Blue Point Blueberry Ale

I got this brew out of a trade, so I figured it be worth a shot. It's made by the lovely Blue Point Brewing Company out of Long Island, NY. They have a pretty broad selection and I figured this fruit beer would be a nice start.

Pours with a nice, white head. It's kinda cloudy and translucent with a golden hue to the body. The nose is of blueberries, hops and assorted other light fruits. The taste is distinctly of blueberries, but not nearly as much as the smell lets on. It's also hoppy, but not bitter. Also has an airy quality to it; probably because of the carbonation. The texture has a slight bite and moves from smooth to bubbly. But, the taste flow is kind of flat.

Overall, not a terrible beer. Also, not something REALLY special. But it is worth noting from this company. Also, how many companies out there make blueberry beers? Worth a shot if you like blueberries.

Appearance - 3.3
Smell - 3.9
Taste - 3.7
Texture - 2.9
Overall - 3.45/5
