Quick review of Shipyard smashed blueberry. This was a limited offering from NSLC right after the beerfest in august.
Right off the bat, you can smell the blueberry smell. The dark color of the beer kinda makes you think for a second, however you get mostly a porter taste. The blueberry taste is not a dominant as you’d think. For a flavoured beer, this one is quite a surprise.
Smashed Blueberry is the newest beer in Shipyard Brewing Company’s Pugsley’s Signature Series line. This beer is a hybrid between a Porter and a Scotch Ale and has a rich mouth feel and a body of complex intensity. Upfront, there are distinct flavors of coffee and chocolate beautifully accentuated by the aroma of fresh blueberries. The finish features a delicate balance of sweet fruit and dry hops. This beer pairs well with glazed duck, ribs, barbeque, chocolate, and blueberry deserts. To fully experience all the flavors, Smashed Blueberry is best drunk at 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
