I'm done with finals! And to top it off, I think I may have actually gotten good grades, so that's cool. Go me. I would like to sincerely apologize for the lack of updates to Whootbeer! over the last week. I would have loved to take the time to sit back and write a review, but I just didn't have the time. Well, I probably had the time, but I couldn't do it without feeling really guilty about not doing something more constructive. But the wait is over, and I'm back now so let the drinking commence! Also, I'd like to preface this by saying that I am not actually sure if this is a wheat beer. It really tastes like one, but I'm not positive. Either way, this is happening.

Now this is how to do a fruit flavored beer. The head fades away really fast. Very thin, sadly. In the nose, you obviously get a bunch of blueberries, but also light bubblegum finish. There aren't a whole lot of other smells to the beer, but that's ok. It doesn't need them. This has been one of my favorite beers for a while now. It's just so damn fun to drink. Very light, not too complex, but very satisfying. Unfortunately for me, it's much better out of a keg than out of a bottle. I mean, its still great out of the bottle, it just doesn't taste quite as crisp. When you drink it out of the keg, the aftertaste actually seems like you just got done eating a handful of blueberries. The bottle seems like half a handful. But by saying that, in no way do I want to imply that the taste is overpowering. It's not. It's just a big part of the beer.

Other brewers really need to look at this beer and see what they did with it. So many other brewers craft these fruit beers, and they just taste like it was an afterthought. It's as though they took a lager base and just threw in some fruit flavoring and slapped an a wacky name. But not Sweetwater. The blueberries are a part of this beer. They really did a remarkable job in creating an incredibly consistent and easy to drink beer. It's not too sweet, not too bitter, and it doesn't overdo the fruit thing. It's perfect. Definitely get this if you have the ability. And you owe it to yourself to get this on tap if you have the chance. 93/100.

P.S. Check out Sweetwater's site. It's pretty awesome. Very nicely designed, though the music is a tad annoying.
