Blueberry Boyfriend

Tap to rate

Sun-soaked berries and full-on berry jam meet a squeeze of Meyer lemon, tart and juicy, in a magenta glass. Real blueberries and lemon zest go into it. The brewery's line is that real boyfriends are idiots, while Blueberry Boyfriends are always there for you, and it has a partner beer in Watermelon Girlfriend.

◌ Aroma

Prominent blueberry jam character opens the nose, sun-warmed and jammy without artificial sweetness. Meyer lemon zest cuts through with bright citrus notes, adding dimension to the berry-forward profile. Subtle tartness signals the sour ale base, with minimal malt or hop aromatics competing.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and berry-driven, the real blueberries delivering concentrated fruit flavor across the mid-palate. Acidity builds gracefully, with lemon zest providing a tart counterpoint that prevents cloying. Low IBU (10) keeps bitterness restrained; instead, the sour character refreshes and defines the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish lingers with persistent tartness and a clean, refreshing aftertaste dominated by citrus and berry notes. Drying quality leaves the palate crisp rather than sticky, inviting another sip.
