Welch's Finest Phony Lager!

Poison of Choice: Wild Blue
Type of Beer: Premium Blueberry Lager


The guy at the TF Green liquor store specifically told me that this was his favorite blueberry beer. He said three of them will have you on your ass and will fill you right up. The perfect beer for a blueberry lover. I had to take his advice. He seemed so knowledgeable.

Since this was my...fourth beer of the night, any type of drink was starting to look good. I wasn't being picky anymore, like I was with that damn "Smashed Blueberry" business. The second I started to pour this beer I was in awe. A deep red, purplish color just started to gush out of my beer bottle and into my glass. It shocked me. It wowed me. I was instantly attracted, slightly confused, but insanely interested in what was sitting in my pint glass.

The smell....was something else. Sugary sweet. Almost impossibly sweet. It smelled like a cold and alcoholic blueberry pie. I was concerned that this flavor may be so sweet that it would overpower the actual flavor of the lager.

I was right. It did. While I have to admit I initial enjoyed the flavor, it was just too damn sugary, I thought I was drinking a grape juice. It didn't tasted anything like a beer at all.

In conclusion, it wasn't BAD. It was actually quite tasty. Unfortunately, this taste had nothing to do with beer whatsoever. A heavily alcoholic wine spritzer, perhaps? I don't know. I might get it again, but certainly not if I'm looking to indulge in a decent beer. Better luck next time, Anheuser-Busch!
