A pie-inspired fruited sour ale brewed with blueberries and Madagascar vanilla beans. A slice of heaven that pours into a glass!

Can from Corti Bros. Pours purple with a transient purpleish head. Blueberries waft from the pour. Med body or better. Flavor is blueberry and vanilla. Hints of lactose. Lightly fruity sour. A bit astringent. Very nice flavor - surprisingly.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated January 30, 2020. Aroma is full of blueberry and vanilla notes. Faint malt notes and hints of alcohol. Light acidity and hints of lemon. Pours a slightly hazy, purplish red with a medium sized, fairly thin, slightly pink head that recedes quickly and disappears. No lacing and faint legs. Flavor is rather sweet with a medium light acidity and light malt notes. Low bitterness and light alcohol spice. Loafs of vanilla and blueberry notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very adjunct forward, lightly acidic, fairly sweet beer. It's not bad, but it's definitely an artificial flavor and aroma that completely hides the underlying beer.
