Aroma & Flavour Profile

• Aroma: You’ll be greeted by fresh berry-essence, ripe blueberries and tart raspberries playing the lead roles.
• On the palate: Bright, juicy berry upfront with blueberries giving soft sweetness, raspberries adding tang and vibrancy. The sour base brings a crisp acidity that keeps things refreshing rather than syrupy.
• Finish: A clean, tart exit as the fruit lingers but is balanced by the sour structure, so it doesn’t feel overly heavy or sweet.

Mouthfeel & Serving Notes

• Mouthfeel is likely light to medium-bodied: enough weight to carry the fruit and sour character, but easy-drinking.
• Serve chilled, in a tulip or stemmed glass to highlight the colour, aroma and fizz.
• Best enjoyed fresh to savour the bright fruit notes and tart edge.

What Makes It Stand Out

• The blueberry + raspberry combo offers a dual-berry experience: blueberries bring mellow jammy richness, raspberries bring sharpness, and their interplay gives the beer depth and charm.
• At ~4.8 % ABV, it remains quite approachable, a sour that invites sipping without overwhelming.
• For a brewery in the Catskills region, this kind of fruited sour shows their versatility beyond standard lagers/IPAs offering something playful, flavour-forward yet balanced.

Suggested Pairings

• Berry-based desserts: e.g., raspberry-blueberry tart, cheesecake with berry compote.
• Lighter cheeses with fruit preserves, goat cheese with raspberry jam for example.
• Salads or dishes with a hint of fruit/pickled character: e.g., mixed greens with raspberries, almonds and vinaigrette.
• On-its-own, this beer works as a refreshing summer or patio sip.
