Sweet Water Blue * * * * *

By Sweetwater Brewing Company. Per the bottle "Sweetwater Blue is a
unique light bodies Ale enhanced with fresh blueberries and all
natural flavors. This euphoric experience begins with an appealing
blueberry aroma and finishes as a surprisingly thirst-quenching ale."

We feel the description above is accurate. The flavor is light and
slightly sweet. It has a hint of fresh blueberry taste and smell. On
a scale of fruit beer it is a 5 out of 5 stars. So in the fruit beer category we will give it a 5 out of 5 stars. It is not equal to traditional beers like Trappist ales and German or Belgium wheat beers. We feel it warrants the highest rating even though it is in a category of its own. Comparing it to other fruit beers it is far superior. The beer looks and tastes like beer it pours a clear golden color. The golden color is unlike AB's / Inbev Wild Blue's poor attempt at a blueberry beer which is more like a thick blue cough syrup than beer.

The only bad thing is Sweetwater is not available in Illinois,
Missouri, or Kentucky. My girlfriend travels to Tennesee and Georgia
where she replenishes our stock. Sweetwater Brewing Company is based
out of Atlanta Georgia.
