High Hops Blueberry Wheat

-

ABV: 4.8% | IBUS: 8 | SRM: N/A What the brewer says

“A classic American wheat with a blueberry kick.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Blueberry muffin, which is emphasized by a slight buttery flavor and bready wheat malt—like a pat of butter on the muffin. The blueberrie­s are subtle but recognizab­le. Additional fruity esters, distinct from the blueberrie­s, bring forth notes of cherry and bubblegum. The beer itself is a bit bready, with soft wheat and malt, as well as notes of vanilla, nuttiness, and marshmallo­w.” Flavor: “The flavor proceeds directly from the aroma. But where the aroma indicated a rich muffin, this is more of a scone, or a muffin without the butter. A smooth, rich blend of blueberry and wheat, with hints of vanilla cashew. A hint of sweetness that fades into a restrained bitterness that lingers into a dry finish.” Overall: “The aroma is subtle but there’s also a richness to it that adds some complexity. It tastes like breakfast. And the nuttiness was interestin­g, like cashews, or a bowlful of Wheaties with blueberrie­s thrown in.”
