Description
Urban Artifact is Ohio’s home for sour beer; located in the historic St. Patrick’s church in Cincinnati. With a special emphasis on fruit beers, they have created a niche with their signature overfruited Midwest Fruit Tart style focusing on balance, drinkability, and real fruit. Brewing a bevy of different sour beers, from the standard German style gose, to the exotic spontaneously fermented barrel aged sour with a wide variety of different fruits, there is sure to be something new and exciting to explore. We are currently on pace to use over 400,000 lbs of real fruit this year alone!

Our Northside, Cincinnati taproom is open seven days a week, with food service provided by Wildfire Pizza Kitchen. We host live music five nights a week at the Radio Artifact Live stage, and make the historic church sanctuary, The Reliquary, available for receptions and events.

Radio Artifact, the Urban Artifact hosted independent music radio, can be listened to on 91.7FM HD2 in Cincinnati or live streaming online at radioartifact.com

From a 3$ can at vintage. Pour is cloudy light pale. Nose is strong grapefruit smelling hops. No head. Since this is brewed at artifact, I was hoping it would be at least somewhat tart. It is not. Its just another super bitter ass terribly on style IPA that tastes like green pithy rotten fermenting grapefruit rinds, hand soap, turpentine, coal tar, pine sap and endive all blended together in a food processor. Simply put, for my girlie macro lager loven taste buds, this stuff comes across unpleasant disagreeable disgusting awful & dreadful. Its also quite horrible terrible vile foul abominable. Warming sensation thru the middle. Finish is revolting repugnant obnoxious off-putting rank diabolical and grotty. Yea, if you like IP, you need to put this on yer bucket list! There, you have it.

3$ can from vintage. Pale yellow with an orange tint & slightly foggy. Fairly neutral nose, barely any pumpkin spices, but it does have a tiny metallic hint and maybe even, just maybe, a tad of real pumpkin on the nose. First taste is surprizingly quite tart. Wow, what a difference from the conventional spiced pumpkin bombs! Almost seems to have a wild attitude about it. Yes, since I like tart brews, I'm liking this. Not cloyingly, nor mouth coating sweet, like so many other pumpkin brews. Also has some good cutting carbonation in here. The tartness and the co2 give it an amusing palate. No real pumpkin spices in this. Its so nice to have a pumpkin beer that is not a messy bomb of excessive cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice smacking you in the face. And, its also so nice that its not sickly cloying. You'd never know the alky in this is close to 8%!! Certainly one of the more enjoyable pumpkin beers, if not the best, I've had in a long time. This pumpkin taste is more like pumpkins compared to all the other pumpkin beers I’ve tasted. Good tingly carbonation. Not bad, considering I don’t like those typical miserably messy pumpkin mishmashes. An easy beer to like. Other pumpkin brewers should check out this recipe. Does the word pumpkin, good justice. Overall, simply civilized, tart and fun! Would not hesitate to have this again. Did I say yummy? Oh darn the can is empty, balderdash.

Canned, from Systembolaget. Clear chestnut brown. Aroma of hazelnuts and cocoa powder. Quite sweet with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Caramel and hazelnuts on toast. Low bitterness. Rather sharp and shallow.

Green can from vintage estates. Pour is light pale with an ever so slight haze. Nose is mild lime. First taste is quite nice and tart. Can't really get the vanilla but the sour, lime and co2 level really make this interesting. Much better than expected, almost has some wild or lambic feel to this. In the middle, my mouth begins to water and pucker, yummy. Yes, this is appetizing delicious and succulent. Finish is heavenly flavorful and delish. Wow, I'm impressed! I got to get another one of these bad ass babies. Fer sher. Forget about the vanilla, its absent.

Pours very hazy pale yellow and smells very tropical. Mango and passion fruit. The flavor is full of tropical fruit annd also some resinous hops. Mild bitterness. I’m not crazy about how it goes together here. It’s alright, but not something I’d look for again.
