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.

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.

On tap at Randolph Williamsburg. Pours purple red and opaque. Boysenberry, blackberry, blueberry, sweet synthetic berry aroma, taste is more acidic with a clean finish. Medium body. Very one dimensional but tasty all the same.
