Black Market Brewing Co. The Tradecraft Series Sour Ale with Blackberries Berliner Weisse at 3.8% ABV (C$9.75 at Sundance Wine Market, 650 ml, no bottle date or best before)
Appearance: clear purplish red with one finger of medium dense light purple head, good retention and lacing. (4/5) Aroma: big sour blackberry/raspberry, very light funk. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderately strong tart, minimal bitter. (7/10) Palate: light body, moderate carbonation, clean tart finish. (4/5)
Quite pleasant jammy blackberry flavour with big tart. I think the big tartness limits how many of these one could realistically drink, so it could actually stand to be heavier in body and ABV. Pretty and fun, though, and the blackberry makes this an interesting alternative to their 1945 Berlinerweisse (which this is based on). (15/20)
