Blueberry Jack is a psychedelic trip to flavor town. A hazy collaboration with our friends at Stillwater Artisanal Ales, it’s also the latest entry in their “Strains from Mother Nature” series. We blended together a blonde Brettanomyces-fermented ale aged in both oak barrels and foedres, then added California-grown blueberries and blackberries. After maturing, we dry-hopped the beer with reckless amounts of Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy hops for a trippy, tropical-dank aroma.

Bottle bought from mikkeller online. slightly hazy yellow, white head. amazing aroma, lots of fruits, some citrus, some hoppy stuff too, both fruity and hoppy aroma components are complex and deep. Flavor is very sour, with citrussy notes, fruit peel notes, lemons, oranges, pretty sour stuff indeed. blueberries and blackberries are well hidden beneath the sourness but there are hints of fresh red berries somewhere in the complex sour flavor. good stuff. relatively easy drinking sour, even though it is pretty damn sour.

Bottle, flashy label. Unclear golden color with white head. Aroma is rye, spelt, dough, fresh yeast. Taste is the same, rye/spelt spice, just a touch berry acidity. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Good, but where are the blueberries?

This beer pours a cloudy purplish-ruby color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of tart berries, funky yeast, oak and malt. Medium body with flavors of tart blueberry, brett yeast, oak and doughy malt. The finish is tart and funky with a lingering berry aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Flaska från Beergium. Rödlila med vitt skum med stora bubblor. Humlig och brettig basöl som ger lite stalliga och bittra toner som möter upp främst blåbär och en aning av björnbär. Trevlig mix.

Bottle shared by Jack, thanks! Pours a slightly hazy light peach with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has funk and light blueberry with a bit of earthy grains underlying. Flavor has earthy blueberry and a bit of funk with a bit of sweet grains supporting.
