What is a blueberry ale?

A blueberry ale is an ale brewed or finished with blueberries, so the fruit shows up in the aroma and flavor on top of the usual malt and hop character. Brewers can add the fruit during fermentation, afterward, or use flavoring, and the result ranges from lightly fruity to clearly jammy.

Because it is an ale, it is generally brewed with top-fermenting yeast, which tends to give a rounder, fruitier base than a lager. That makes blueberry a natural fit, since the beer already carries some fruit character of its own.

For the exact flavor of this particular can, the product page is the place to read what the brewer says about it.

What else does Baxter make that the shop carries?

Baxter is also represented here by BAXTER Window Seat, which is worth a look if you are already buying a Baxter can and want to try a second beer from the same brewery.

Picking up two different beers from one maker is an easy way to see what the brewery does with different styles. Put one fruit-leaning ale next to something with a different profile and the differences are easy to taste.

The Baxter brand page shows the full range the shop has from them at any time.

How should you serve a blueberry ale?

Serve it cold, but not so cold that the fruit disappears. A beer straight from the coldest part of a fridge can taste muted, so letting it sit out for a few minutes helps the aroma open up.

A standard pint glass or tulip works well. Pouring into a glass rather than drinking from the can lets you notice the blueberry on the nose, which is a large part of the appeal.

Fruit ales are usually easy to drink with food, and they pair naturally with brunch dishes, salty cheeses and desserts that are not too sweet.
