I brewed a Blueberry Wheat Ale July 4th, 2008. I used a Brewer's Best kit and added blueberries. Now honestly, I was trying something different in that I pureed the blueberries in a blender and added them to the primary. The end result is a beer with an immediate, fruity flavor(1 on scale of 1-10), slightly metallic(2 on scale of 1-10) and then no flavor. There is a hint of alcohol in the flavor but it disappears immediately as well. I suppose I just did everything wrong on this batch but it is odd that there is kind of a stale-ish flavored water sort of taste.
I think I'm going to a partial mash from now on. My IPA seems to have turned out well though. But my Blackberry Wheat Ale smells like it is gonna suck big time, too. Man! My first 3 or 4 batches were hits, too!
