Trek through the vast landscape of BLUEBERRY LIME SOUR PLANET, where tartness abounds and rivers run blue. The air is thick with fruity aromas, punctuated by a zephyr of citrus. Flowing to the surface, this kettle-soured ale washes over your palate with a pleasant acidity and delicate dryness. Drink it in, before the mirage fades away.

Undated can drunk 7/31/25.
Clear, deep raspberry-cherry-blueberry flesh. Small, fruit-tinged, beige head sits at cover.
Have been sitting on this wondering WTF is this 7.2% abv? The last 15 in the series were around 3.5%. Anywho, it smells great, per the series. Authentic and fruity. Just the right amount of lactic character and lots of crusty, nutty wheat. Clean and tart and snappy.
Soft, with a touch of crusty, chewy wheat. Good and dry. Minimal lacto. Pleasingly tart but still malty with authentic fruit. Does have a strong maltiness, though it doesn't taste 7.2%. Very good attenuation keeps it very drinkable and the fruit doesn't dominate.

Flavour is composed of semi sweet, light tangy, bitter berries, yogurty funk, twist of lime, prickly citrus. Palate is semi sweet sour. Mellow cask condition. Nice.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Hazy amber beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light and quite dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth blueberry supports the mildly tart lime. Some very light caramel on the dry finish. Tasty enough but quite dry.
