Le Bleu poured a rose color with a two fingered width, white bubbly head.  The aroma is dominated by yeast, with light hints of fruit. The mouthfeel is champage like and the body is tart with ripe fruit.  The blueberries start to show through towards the back end and lead to a tart finish.  Overall, this is a nice sour ale.  The carbonation is high on this one, and the ABV is fairly low.  The bottle advised the beer to be served cold, but I found the flavors became more pronounced as the beer warmed. 

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
