Golden Sour with Tayberries
Inspired by the Belgian framboise, our take on this beer style uses 80% golden sour beer aged in tank for 3-4 months, blended with 20% golden sour beer aged in wine barrels for over two years. We refermented this base beer with 200g/l of freshly harvested Tayberries grown 12 miles from the brewery. Tayberries are a cross between raspberries and blackberries, named after the River Tay, and were first bred in our home of Dundee.
Whilst a framboise style is traditionally brewed with raspberries, we decided to use tayberries to showcase their intense raspberry character, vibrant pinkish red hue and massive aroma.
We’re a little bit obsessed with this delightful berry.

375ml bottle, Chez Sophie. Hazed pinkish purple appearance, no head. Aroma of fresh tayberry. Flavour profile is tart red berries, tayberries with a nice wild sour acidic edge, nicely refreshing with a good lively fruity character. Really good.

On keg at the Hanging Bat. Appearance - deep opaque purple, and smoothie like. Not much head to speak of. Nose - berry compote possibly blackberry being dominant. Taste - blackberry for sure. Black cherry too. Tart and funky edge. Palate - medium bodied, tart and long. Overall - yep, good.

375 ml bottle. Pours a dull hazy red color with short pinkish head that settles quickly. Aromas of earthy red berries leaning towards raspberries and lots of wheaty malts. Flavors of fuzzy red berries, currants, a little lemon, tart grapes, and wheaty malts. Tasty. Very go od

More delicious fruity sour stuff from these goats. Nicely sour, lovely fruity, some sweetness and clear blackrasptayberrythings. A bit vinous, but mostly super refreshing and very tasty. My kind of sour
