I think it’s funny how specialty beer is alway associated with masculinity and some snobbery. I didn’t really even consider it a girly drink, I bought it because the label was cool, and novelty of being brewed with blueberries. The dog is tough looking, even kind of cute flicking something. I’m guessing dog dodo.

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.

It hits the palate like a tall-boy of Sparks without the caffeinated enjoyment. The only benefit is it’s strength, yet another resemblance to Sparks. Tastes like the beer and concentrated juice concoctions that we used to mix up to avoid buying wine coolers for the ladies at keystone light keggers. I thought I’d grown up. This proves that I’m the same sucker as the rest of these fan-boy saps.

Maybe they’ve ramped it up again. Hope so.

I don’t like sweet tasting beer or alcohols either. This isn’t all that sweet.
