Maineiac Blueberry Wheat
This recipe is a cousin of Skotrat's B52 recipe. Changes include adding blueberry flavoring, experimenting with honey malt (thanks Bill Pierce) and the use of Mt. Hood as the bittering and Liberty as the aroma hop. This will be a nice summertime beer. If you have fresh blueberries handy spoon some on top after pouring a pint.
