Inspired by our love of beer for breakfast, we teamed up with our friends at Stillwater Artisanal and created a Boysenberry Breakfast Sour. We added an obscene amount of Boysenberry puree to a sour beer made with tons of lactose sugar for an added creamy sweetness. To make sure we created a well-balanced breakfast, we added a healthy amount of Mosaic hops to compliment the massive berry flavours and add a touch of bitterness. Here’s to starting your day the right way.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: murky purple color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace and left some super light concave lace which slid with the sips
Aroma: boysenberry sweet and tart scents and a nice dose of Mosaic hops accompanied by a lactose/creamy sweetness
Flavor: sweet, tart and sour blending the prior mentioned aromas nicely together; lean aftertaste of the tart side of the boysenberries
Texture: about medium bodied, there's some sessionability to this as the sour and tart seem to be a bit tamer than expected; finishes fairly sweet but with some stabs of the tart qualities of the boysenberry
Overall: I like this beer for the most part even though I had it as an evening sipper, sure I'd come back to.

Insanely deep violet and pure purple coloured body with a rich hazy glow of more violet and a super-fast-dying off-white head on top, but the colours are remarkable here. Aroma of blackberries, grapes, boysenberries and a dash of raspberries, all on top of some softer malts and a dash of pure jam and fruit-based sugars. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong herbal and lightly grassy funk up front with more of the fruit stems and vines than the actual fruit itself, but then some of the sweetness and tart notes come through, showing a robust deep and fruity boysenberry and blackberry flavour with some moderate sweetness, but more assertive tart/soured notes for sure. Aftertaste shows the sour and tart fruits on top of the strong-enough malt backbone that make this a bit floral and grassy to add to the sour quotient. Overall, a nice and rich fruit-based beer that shows a bunch of herbal and grassy sides, but the jam, sweetness and tart notes dominate. Nice to sample, but not really worth going out of the way for, nor worth grabbing over another soured/tart beer. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 21-November-2018 for US$4,29 sampled a bit more than a year later at home in Washington on 24-January-2020.
