Blueberry Raspberry Sour Ale


Brewed with real raspberries and blueberries, this American sour ale is a vibrant, tangy delight. Indulge in the taste of the forbidden and experience the allure of true fruit flavor. A refreshing escape from the norm.

Style & Overview
This brew is a fruited sour ale (4.8 % ABV per listing). It blends the tart, lively character of a sour base with generous blueberry and raspberry fruit adjuncts.


Appearance
Expect a vibrant pink-to-rose hue, possibly with a light ruby glow in the glass thanks to the berry additions. The head will likely be pale and somewhat delicate, letting the colour shine through.


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.
