On tap at the brewery. Pours with a red-amber body and a lightly pink head. Aroma of mint, berry and funk. Taste is sour, funk, bluberry, lightly tannic and somewhat bitter. Some seeds and stems. Very lively carbonation and a dry finish.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A: The pour is a slightly cloudy light purple color with some floating pieces of fruit in it. The head is initially like pink but dies down quickly.
S: The fruit character is present, but not necessarily blueberry in nature. There’s a bit of funk and a solid tartness to the nose.
T: The blueberry is again mild, and I might not necessarily pick it out if I wasn’t aware of the fact that it was a blueberry sour. That said, there is a pleasant fruitiness and a good dry and acidic quality to the beer.
M: The body is on the lighter side with a full carbonation that pricks the tongue and leaves a nice dry finish.
D: A pretty good sour beer that’s easily just as good as a blueberry beer from a brewery on the opposite end of the country.

I had this on tap at Bootlegger’s Second Anniversary party. Nice looking dark blue-ish/red pour, I enjoyed the balance between the blueberries and the funkiness.
