"Gets You Wild" Blue

Anyone who knows me at all should find this post wildly unsurprising.

Definitely a "love it or hate it" brew, Wild Blue has been an absolute favorite of mine from the moment I first tasted it in Anheuser-Busch's Brewmaster's Club at Busch Gardens Europe. Despite it's macro origins, this "fruity" lager easily rivals comparable micro offerings (such as Leinenkugel's Berry Wiesse, and many others). Though it can become a bit heavy in quantities more than a bottle or two, it is otherwise incredibly drinkable, with the only common complaint being that it tastes more like drinking juice or some kind of malt beverage than beer.

The above distinction is incredibly important, though, once one considers Wild Blue's very, very, inexplicably high alcohol content (a whopping 8%!), which easily sneaks up on you if you work your way through a few bottles too quickly, something that can easily happen due to its general deliciousness. More than once I have charged confidently through a full sixpack, only to blink and find myself in bed the next morning spooning... well, someone I'd rather not be spooning.

Wild Blue always has a place in my fridge, and probably will for a long time. Definitely buy it, try it, and love it.
