Blackberry Daze IPA gets its hop bitterness and some hop aroma in the brewhouse, but most of the action happens in the cellar when the fruit is added during secondary fermentation. A special blend of loamy, herbaceous hops for dry-hopping complements the brightness and deep complexity of the blackberries. The result is a funky synthesis of rich earth and ripe fruit, hop bitterness and blackberry tartness, with alluring color and aromas up front, sublimely intense flavors, and a refreshingly dry finish.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours light copper with a near-beige head. Aroma of blackberries and fruit in a slightly musty way. Med + body. Flavor is blackberry and slightly roasty malt. Sort of a herb/veg thing too, and maybe some pale stone fruit. It is towards dry, and it’s decently bitter. No one flavor is overly strong, but the sum is at least equal to the total of the flavors. Interestingly different take on a fruit beer - not sweet; not sour; not extremely fruity.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a reddish amber color with a small white head. A big funky sweet nose. Sweet, toasted malt base, big berries, soft perfume hops. Pretty good. Works well. Melodious.
