My most optimistic viewpoint would be that it's a very unique Summer Wheat Ale. But, I would define the taste as somewhat gimmicky, with it's blueberry and orange smell/taste. Not a bad beer (well there's really no such thing), but loses points because it doesn't seem genuine.

Two finger fluffy white head with little retention and some lacing - seems like my favorite mason jar has this effect on a lot of beers.
Strong citrus (orange) aroma with slight wheat scents. The taste is definite citrus while the wheat flavor is stronger than in the scent. Dry endings. Sweet.
Crisp, clean, and dry. After jogging this beer is refreshing and goes down easy. I could see where two, three or more could go down before you know it.
Not my favorite wheat beer (Oberon) but I wouldn't hesitate to grab one, especially on a warm summer evening.
I am a fan of the wheat beers so I might be biased on my ratings of this style.
