Refreshing in the same way a glass of cold grape juice is. As a beer though...

Blegh fake blueberry residual flavor that keeps lingering.

Smells strongly of blueberry, but the flavor is more like a shell of an idea. No hint of juice, just skins and seeds, tannic and astringent on the finish. There is dry sweetness from the malt, but it just creates more dissonance with the desire to taste fruit juice. An unpleasant residual sense of blueberry does linger on afterwards, and for quite a while.
