Blueberry Cherry Oasis is the first offering in a new series of sour beers featuring a rotating cast of fruits. While heavily fruited sour beers are more popular than ever, they often come at the expense of shelf stability and longevity when packaged with unfermented fruit. This is because live yeast in the beer consumes the sugar from the fruit which can cause over-carbonation and even package failures. For this reason, we opted to fully-ferment all of the fruit prior to packaging in order to prevent quality issues down the line. This first iteration is jam packed (pun very much intended) with blueberries and sweet cherries. It pours a deep reddish-purple with a well balanced tartness which nicely compliments the intense fruit flavor.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark purple color with a finger's worth of pink to off-white foamy head which seemed to dissipate semi-quick to a moderate sort of pace; super light lace was left
Aroma: sweet to tart blueberry to sweet to tart cherry character which ends up meshing nicely to smell somewhat like jam
Flavor: copies the aromas to a tart to sweet quality; super light jam-like note in there; finishes about the same
Texture: medium bodied; slight sessionability to this; light smoothness with a nick or two of the tartness to the tongue - nothing to get worked up about - it's just there
Overall: pretty nicely done fruited tart/sour ale I would have again.
