We love blackberries. Tart, sweet and complex but guarded by thorny branches, these alluring fruit have been a favorite of ours since we added them to our very first beer. This sour blonde ale is infused with loads of coastal Blackberries from Swanton Berry Farm in California’s Santa Cruz Mountains and aged in wine barrels for many months. Pair with duck dishes and summer salads.

Bottle bought in California, 2016 or 2017. Hazy reddish with a small head. Aroma of funk, berries and some citrus. The same in the taste, also some light oak. The body was medium and the finish was fairly tart. A nice one.

Bottle from Beerdome.nl. Smooth sour nose. The beer starts nice sourish and fresh. Dry sour fresh blackberries. Tart and funky, wood with hints of white wine in the back. Lots of blackberries with a great funky sour ending. Deep and refreshing, but not too long in the aftertaste, quite mild, round and fruity sour fresh. Nice.
