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

Cucumber, dill, and coriander mixed with sharp lacto tartness and a salty fade. (Might be more accurate to put CUCUMBER, dill, and coriander.) Always a bit weird to describe a beer as cucumber-forward. Can't think of any other way to make clear how damn cucumber-heavy this pint is, though. Cute idea. Tastes like its name suggests. Again, not for me.

Can: pours bright red with pinkish head. Aroma is loads of raspberry, some funk and a vanilla hint. Taste is slightly sour, sweet raspberry syrup taste, interesting finish. Nice.

12 oz. Aroma is pickles, fresh cucumbers, coriander, chalky candy, lemon. Pours hazy golden with a two finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste is moderately sour (6/10) with flavors like the aroma, some wheat, light salt. Me likey.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a thick and murky apricot gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates quickly. Wonderful pungent apricot skin and flesh aromas with good fruit and tart notes on the nose. Thick and juicy on the palate with apricot puree followed by slight tartness and mild skin astringency. Lingering apricot pulp and mild stone notes. Really good. --- Beer merged from original tick of Paperweight on 14 Jul 2019 at 22:03 - Score: 8. Original review text: Big pungent apricot nose with some light lemon juice as it warms. Thick and viscous apricot purée with light stone and skin astringency. Yum

Damn near a raspberry smoothie. Fruit tarts go far! I'm sure they're expensive too.

Can from Craft Brewed. Pours a thick and heavy deep ruby with a full two fingers of pink foam that dissipates to a ring around the glass. Bright, jammy raspberry aromas with some light raspberry leaf and faint vanilla as it warms. Tart raspberry and gooseberry on the palate with some hay, raspberry skin astringency and flesh notes. Lingering tart berry finish. Quite good. --- Beer merged from original tick of Gyroscope on 27 Jun 2019 at 10:12 - Score: 7

Sample from can at Lizardville Westerville during the Hoppin' Frog Night at All Lizardvilles! event on 03/14/2019. Cloudy pinkish-amber color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lace. Aroma of strawberry, wheat and malt. Medium body with flavors of mildly tart strawberry, yeast and bready malt. The finish is lightly tart strawberry and citrus. Pretty good overall.
