I'm not sure why you think lambic should "scarcely" deserve to be classified under the label beer when true lambics are probably more similar to what most beer tasted like just a few hundred years ago.

If you're looking for solid US brewed fruit beer recommendations, I would suggest you look to New Glarus, with their Raspberry Tart and Belgian Red (both of these are reminiscent of a fruit lambic). Dogfish Head's most popular fruit beer is their Aprihop (apricot flavored hoppy ale) and they recently released Fort (an 18% raspberry ale). I'm pretty sure that any of these four beers will be far more interesting than Wild Blue Blueberry Lager. I'd like to see this Wild Blue Lager take a stab at Bell's Cherry Stout!

Wild Blue, if you find it, is worth a buy. My fiance hates beer, but loves this blueberry lager. It reminds you of a wine, given that it is made from blueberries. I started drinking beer after tasting Bell's Oberon, and still find it hard to find another favorite. Although Wild Blue, if picked up as a routinely brewed beer, might be a bit pricey, with an 8% Alc./vol level, it won't take you long to reach your comfort zone. At least try it, if you don't like it, someone else will! (Oh, beerinator, we had Bell's Cherry and we had a hard time selling the keg, but all of us loved the Wild Blue...)
