Florida Avenue Brewing Co. You’re My Boy, Blue! – Wheat Ale at 5.3% ABV (2023 Craft Beer Advent Calendar #15, 355 ml, packaged on 15-Aug-2023, acquired 14-Dec-2023, reviewed 22-Dec-2023)
Appearance: slightly hazy tea-tinged pale gold with one finger of fine white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: blueberry, bready wheat. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-lively carbonation, off-dry medium duration finish. (4/5)
An initial surprisingly emphatic blueberry aroma upon opening falls back rapidly but never disappears, and might even make a bit of a return as the pint warms. Hopped with Warrior, but I can’t say that I’m getting much actual hop character. I haven’t really had great experiences with fruited ales in general, or blueberry ones in particular, but overall this isn’t bad at all. (14/20)
This will be my 5,712nd unique Untappd check-in.
