Bar Harbor Blueberry Ale at Mahaffey's Pub

Flavors: Blueberry, with hints of blueberry and a blueberry aftertaste

Damage: $3.50

Skinny: Bar Harbor is brewed up in Maine, where the itty bitty blueberry is king of all fruits. Pairing it with the king of beverages--beer--apparently seemed like the next step, and it was a good one to take. The complexity of the blueberry, from its color to the sweet-to-tart range of flavors, comes through in this ale, but not overwhelmingly so.--Brandon Picchieri
