A Note on This Beer

When I was a kid, my mom was the smoothie Queen. She’d combine fresh, drippy blueberries from her garden with homemade oat milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of honey for sweetness. It blew my mind every time!

Today’s Spiked Smoothie Blueberry Açaí from Connecticut Valley Brewing Co. harkens back to those post-school energy-boosting smoothies from Mom. Only, her creations didn’t come with real, earthy-tart acai berries, or a 5% ABV (‘cause I was, well… 9).

Each refreshingly sweet and fruity sip of Spiked Smoothie is so full of delicious mixed berry flavor, it’s almost TOO easy to start crushing can after can!

So, the next time you’re craving that freshly-blended taste, crack open a can of this Spiked Smoothie Blueberry Acai. Those thirst-quenching flavors are about as close to the real thing as beer can get.

*The Beer Travel Guide lauds Connecticut Valley as one of the best breweries in Connecticut!

Decent flavor from the fruits, but I would have preferred it to be more sour/tart. Carbonation dissipated almost instantly as well for me, which makes it less enjoyable

If you are looking for a blueberry sour that’s easy to drink then this is a decent choice. But if you are expecting more of a “smoothie”-ness to it then it falls short

Like a smoothie!!

I believe the can I received was apart of a bad batch. There is no lactose, and the flavor of acai is very light. What I received is more of a lightly flavored seltzer.

This one honestly tasted pretty watered down. I wouldn’t get this one again.

It's overly carbonated and just flavorless. I had high hopes for this sour but I'm very disappointed

Tasted extremely watery.... almost felt like a seltzer more than a beer

Was quite a bit disappointed. Nothing like a smoothie style beer as the name implies. Also, the color of mine was nothing like what is in the picture either, it was much more translucent. Like many others have said, it was more like a hard seltzer than a beer. It had an almost medicinal taste, like something you would get at a health grocery store.

Not at all sour like I was expecting. Tastes like a blueberry acai seltzer with a lil lactose. Not that flavourful.

I don’t taste sour at all. I actually looked up the beer notes because I thought I was drinking a seltzer. I was definitely expecting something more flavorful

Hint of blueberry with a stronger açaí finish. Sweet but a little too uncarbonated

Expected more thickness.

This brew starts a flavorless mediocre mess on the palate with a slight tartness, yet dies off to a surprisingly bland pizza dough profile and pours down the sink with a beautiful ruby red.

It tastes like blueberry but its definitely lacking some depth.

Spiked Smoothie is certainly a misnomer. It's lightly fizzed and lightly flavored at best, and is missing the lactose to thicken it a bit like a proper smoothie sour. Overall it's potable, but lacking in every department. Just disappointing
