Utilizing a winemaking technique of carbonic maceration and brewed with a fruity Kviek yeast, we conditioned this beer on over 500lbs of local Bluecrop blueberries, picking up notes of fresh jam and summertime flowers

Nice deep ruby body and some minimal foam. Smells of clean berry, not too sweet, a little subdued. Taste is bitter berry and slightly sweet, okay crisp carbonation. Not bad and definitely clean which I like, but squarely in the middle of the pack for beers like this.

On tap at Studio, pours a bright dark pinkish red with a small pink-tinged head. Nose has a lot of yogurty notes and gentle tart blueberries. Flavour reveals timid blueberries, a touch of tartness, and yogurty notes. Too much yogurt character, though the blueberries do cover it over a bit. Not very good—typical crappy fruited kettle sour.

It’s a vibrant magenta colour with a bit of haze. I’m really liking that bright, natural blueberry aroma. Lightly tart, with bursting fruit, this is refreshing, and moves past the standard fruit sour. I’m a fan.

Poured from the tap. Medium purple-ish red with minimal white head. The kviek comes through most dominant here with a subtle blueberry underlay. Hopefully you like kviek yeast… post rating note: as it warms up, the blueberry comes out a little more, but still fairly timid.
