Did you pee on her foot?

Justin:

Aroma - Smells like a straight up blueberry muffin. Srsly. The malts are wheat bread and bread crust. It's a blueberry muffin you guys.
Score: 8/12
Appearance - The beer is a slightly hazy gold to light amber with a thin, off-white head that is loosely bubbled and gets down to a slick film quickly.
Score: 3/3
Flavor - The blueberry is a lot more subtle than I expected from the aroma and what is there tastes artificial (not nearly as artificial as a lot of other fruit beers). It's got a lot malts to balance out that sweet blueberry. There is a bite to it but from the carbonation, not hops.
Score: 14/20
Mouthfeel - The carbonation is medium-high and the body is medium. It's got a clean, biting finish.
Score: 3/5
Overall Impression - I know two people who would choose this as their "deserted island" beer if they had to. My mom and my buddy Chris. This beer is so easy to drink and is a great intro beer for people afraid of craft brews and hops in particular. While it's not my cup of tea personally, it'd be easy to throw back a few on a hot day.
Score: 7/10
