A: The beer is very hazy and a bit cloudy dark purple in color. It poured with a quarter finger high off white head that quickly settled down, leaving a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of blueberries are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and is a bit sour with strong notes of blueberry flavors.
M: It feels light-bodied and a bit creamy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer isn't that sour but has pleasant aromas and flavors of blueberries.
Serving type: can

Pours an opaque purple red with a two-inch fluffy pink-purple head; some carbonation bubbles present, no cloudiness. Head settles quickly, but some nice lacing left behind. Nice nose - still pick up some base Berliner notes (cracked wheat, bit of hay and funk) - as well as some generic berry and jam notes. Flavor is pleasingly tart, jammy, but in way cloying; finish remains tart with a bit of wheat lurking underneath. Mouthfeel is moderate, carbonation crisp. A very enjoyable beer!

Poured from crowler into glass. Fill date is '11/10/18'. This Saskatooner release is described as a Blueberry Berliner Weisse.
Can notes: "This Berliner Weisse style sour beer is preceded by an aroma similar to fresh blueberry muffins and finishes with a tart, fruity acidity."
Cloudy, darker rich red colored body. Half finger of white head recedes to islands and ring. Each sip leaves behind some small spots of lacing.
Aroma of tart lemon and semisweet blueberry. Hints of green apple, strawberry, and raspberry.
Taste is tart/sour, with semisweet blueberry. Slight spice touch.
Medium plus mouth feel. Good carbonation. Rather dry finish because of the tart/sour quality.
Tasty and fruity Berliner Weisse. Beautiful deep red colored body. Flavorful, relatively long taste profile. Tart/sour level is balanced with the sweet fruit flavor.

This beer pours a purple tinged deep straw with a a small head. The aroma offers up delicious fresh blueberries. The flavor is simple but excellent. It taste as if fresh blueberry juice has gone straight into the beer. Excellent clarity of flavor, with a very natural sourness. Overall an excellent modern sour.
