For those that don't care for the taste of traditional beer, Wild Blue is a drink for you. It easily compares to an after dinner sweet wine. It was recommended to my wife during an after tour tasting at the A-B Brewery in St. Louis. The tour guide recommended the brew after my wife informed her that she was not too fond of beer. She and I Wild blue and were very pleased with the overall taste. If you can find it, I would highly recommend it and share with your social group. It’s true.

I wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. I don't have a big sweet tooth, and this beer was tasty without being annoying. I can imagine it being a good compliment to cheese or pork.. anything that goes well with fruit. The A-B folks said that only one brewery produces Wild Blue so it's hard to find, but I wouldn't mind having some in the fridge just to change things up once in a while. Also, I recommend the tour, the amount of beer produced blows your mind and the samplings are generous. 7/2/09 – I just tried a sample of Wild Blue at the A-B factory tour in Fairfield.

I was skeptical when I heard "blueberry beer," because I'm really not into fruity drinks/beers, but at 8% alcohol I thought I'd give it a try. It took me about half an hour of complete taste-confusion to realize it was goddamn awesome. Yeah, it was sweet, and it's nothing close to what I typically like in a beer (I'm a fan of porters and other beers that are so thick and bitter you could cut them with a knife). Keeping an open mind, I ended up deciding Wild Blue is pretty damn acceptable stuff. The sweetness of the blueberry flavor was shocking at first, but it didn’t stick with me forever like the awfulness that is Mike’s Hard anything. I’d taste it, then the lager-y flavor kicked in and the sweet went away. I wasn’t haunted by blueberry all night. It also didn’t have that I’m-totally-gonna-kick-your-ass-and-we-both-know-it taste that a lot of high-alcohol content beers have, so it seems to have a tendency to sneak up on ya — but in a very good way. So yeah, Wild Blue. I totally get why it got terrible reviews, but I think it’s surprisingly decent. You just can’t drink it expecting it to be, well, beer. If I ever have a friend over who claims to not like beer, Wild Blue might be a good gateway drink. And damn, you would NEVER know it’s 8% alcohol if it didn’t say so on the bottle, and then proceed to knock you flat on your ass. Never in a million years.

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 19:59:59 +0000 http://www.ibabuzz.com/bottomsup/?p=62#comment-19 Very good. Was skeptical at first but pleasantly surprised. Suspected I was going to waste my money as I have before with other novelty beers, but shockingly I ate or rather swallowed my words after the first sip passed my lips. Blissfully brilliant blueberry beer. Who would have thought! Delicious! I wanted to hurry back to the store and buy what was left before it was gone. I hope Wild Blue is a keeper. I would love to be able to purchase this beer year round. I’m not a regular beer drinker but would be tempted to stock up more regularly. This is such a treat and would be a refreshing reward at the end of the stressful work day. A tiny treasure/simple pleasure to look forward to and a yummy way to unwind. Go Wild Blue! I hope you stay the whole year through! Sincere fan, “G” Very good.
