Originally part of our Dark-Light Series, this dark as dusk sour is back. Drenched in juicy local blueberries and deep purple blackberries, we embrace the changing of the seasons and the moments the darker days bring with them; self reflection, deep conversation, and crackling fires.

473ml can. Pours a murky magenta with plenty of floaties and a small, fizzy, short lived, pale pink head that fully dissipates. Tart fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, blueberry jam, yogurt and funky yeast. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, blackberry, blueberry and funky yeast in a dry, tart, acidic finish. Medium body with a slick texture and average carbonation. Juicy and very hard to believe this is 10%.

Can: Poured a clear dark/black color ale with a medium size off-white foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt notes with some tart notes with some clear blackberry and blueberry notes. Taste is also a good mix of blueberry and blackberry notes with some roasted malt and tart notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. I’m not a big of the style but this was quite tasty.

A, dark hazy purple ale with a very thin off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with loads of blueberry, black currant, light Epsom salts, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity tart mix of blueberry, light mineral notes, pleasant and smooth. On tap at brewery.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Murky purply-red with pink-ish white head. Blackberry and mild blueberry jam, good tart-to-sweet ratio, alcohol is very hidden (be careful with this one). Very tasty.

medium body slight sweet and sour with good fruit flavor. For 10% it’s not over powering but decent
