Monster drinks corrodes our concrete.

Justin:

Aroma - Smells like blueberry muffins and bread.  Not many "beer" notes in the aroma but I'll be damned if it doesn't smell delicious.
Score: 10/12
Appearance - Very clear with a light gold color.
Score: 2/3
Flavor - It also tastes like a blueberry muffin.  It tastes like an honest to god, liquid blueberry muffin. No hop character to be found.
Score: 12/20
Mouthfeel - Dry finish with high carbonation.
Score: 3/5
Overall Impression - I love blueberry muffins.  I love them baked from scratch with fresh blueberries.  I love them baked from a box with those fake blueberry things.  Hell, I love the mini-muffin versions you buy in pouches.  It turns out, if there's one thing I don't like, it's a blueberry muffin beer.  I could see this being a real crowd pleaser for Blue Point but it wasn't my cup of tea.
Score: 7/10

 

Blake:

Aroma -  Blueberry overwhelms, leaving no room to detect hardly anything else. Smells delicious, but not very beer like.
Score: 9/12
Appearance - Light gold with a slight off-white head.
Score: 2/3
Flavor -  The flavor is still overwhelmingly blueberry, however unlike the aroma, I do get a bit of the ale characteristics. 
Score: 13/20
Mouthfeel -  Light body with medium carbonation.
Score: 3/5
Overall Impression -  You can't knock the beer for advertising what it is, but I'd still like to see a bit less blueberry and a bit more ale. I'm not sure I could drink multiple bottles of this in a sitting, but I'm sure my wife would pick up the slack on this one. 
Score: 7/10

  1. Very underwhelmed by this beer….besides the aroma is falls flat on all other categories. I wish there was more carb to bring out the flavor
