If you follow the directions you will get a very Dry Cider with a very slight hint of Blueberry aftertaste. The color will be a slightly darker amber then you would get from straight apple cider.To get the best from this recipe you need to change it up by experimenting. Brew this like you would for a fruit Beer. Follow directions as prescribed (Especially for first timers) then during the fermentation process - perform a secondary fermentation for another 2 to 4 weeks. In the last stage of secondary fermentation add more Crushed fresh fruit (Usually last week to two weeks in fermenter) or canned. Just remember that canned fruit has a lot of excess sugar syrup and can change the taste drastically.Happy Cider making

I was surprised when I saw the color; the blueberries seem to have minimal effect on the color. As for the flavor; the blueberry taste is subtle but it's just enough to smooth out the tartness of the apples. I like a drier cider but there is just enough residual sweetness here for those who want something more dessert-like. I like to give out samples and this one got rave reviews from everyone. It's the perfect balance of flavors; possibly the best hard cider recipe in Mr. Beer's lineup.

Easy instructions resulted in a quality cider that has a hint of summer in it. This is still a drier cider closer to an amber and less of a sweet taste that most commercial ciders. I altered the recipe a bit in that I added extra blended blueberries to really give it more flavor. Even with double blueberry it's not an overpowering blueberry flavor. Nor is it overly sweet. If you want to try an easy variation on a cider this is a good one to go with.
