Looks like 2-row with honey malt and flaked barley, sterling hops to 13 IBUs, OG is 13 Plato (1.053 OG), FG 3 Plato (1.012 FG), honey at flameout, secondary on blueberry purée. US-05 yeast.

Plug ingredients into brew software and adjust until numbers match. I use the free brewtarget. BeerSmith is also very popular. Several online options as well.

Here's a shot at it. Assumes 72% efficiency in Beersmith.

8 lbs US 2-row pale malt
8 oz flaked barley
8 oz honey malt

1 lb honey at flameout

.5 oz Sterling 30 min
.5 oz Sterling 5 min

US-05 yeast

2 lbs blueberry puree in secondary

OG 1.054
FG 1.012
5.5% ABV
5 SRM
13 IBU

Sample the beer. Obviously pale malt is the base. Try to determine how strong the presence of honey malt is. As for flaked barley, probably around 5%. Probably around 6 Srm.

What he said....

There's your 1st attempt..... Mash at 152F or so.... From there, you play with ingredients, mash parameters, yeast, etc, until you get what you're aiming for.

I'd look at the name of the beer, google it for a clone recipe, and then make it

Mash at 152? It is a pretty sweet flavored beer, I thought you'd want to mash at like 156-158? But I'm the newb, please tell me.

Another question, I thought that if one used blueberry purée that it colored the beer a blue purple? Their beer is a golden color, oh this is a beer by Fat Head Brewing, it's their Bumble Berry Honey Blueberry Ale.

You have it backwards. Higher mash temps for more malt sweetness. The beta amylase enzyme denatures. Lower mash temps for a more fermentable wort and thus drier beer,
