3.5 stars out of 5
Brewed and kegged by Sea Dog Brewing, Maine. Bought and drunk at Miller's Ale House, Boca Raton, FL. while eating an interesting dinner snack of “Zingers” nachos. Zingers are the Miller’s Ale House propriety name for their boneless chicken wings. Their nachos are Zingers placed on top of fresh homemade potato chips, and topped with cheese, tomatoes, onions and sour cream. Very nice, very filling.

The web site says "Our unique contribution to the fruit ale category features the nutty quench of wheat ale combined with the delightful aromatics and subtle fruit flavor contributed by the Maine wild blueberry, 4.9% ABV"
An interesting taste that was a little strange at first. The blueberry flavor is pronounced without being overbearing. Crisp, beer, cool and refreshing, went well with the Zinger Potato Chip Nachos
