Dubious Intent is a blended golden sour beer aged in oak barrels with blueberries, blackberries, black currants, and plums. The seventh edition in our Dubious series, the intention of these barrels were dubious on their own. Each barrel used in this blend was partially filled with various fruited sour beer and then filled with a brett saison blend. Unsure about what these barrels would taste like on their own, our production team suspected they might complement each other well. Turns out they suspected right! This lightly fruited sour showcases mild notes of ripe blueberries, strawberries, nectarine, and fresh picked wine grapes.

10oz tulip on tap at the brewery.
A: Pours a lightly opaque pink grapefruit color with a thin, soft, light pink film that faded into a thick and fuzzy collar. Thick wispy lace was left down the glass.
S: Floral perfumey nose with hints of sweet berries and fruit leathers. Soft and integrated smelling with no one fruit standing out.
T: Creamy and jammy notes of berries. Not sugary, candy-like, or overly sweet or cloying; a great mixture of flavors. At times the individual fruits are able to be picked out, but overall the flavors meld together into a creamy sherbet/jammy quality. Yeast is very creamy and soft. Subtle tartness. Finish is very floral tasting. Slight jolly rancher/cherry cough syrup flavors, but in a good way.
M: Soft fluffy and creamy carbonation with a smooth and velvety mouthfeel, and a subtle grapefruit/citrus pith type bitterness. There's almost no acidity, just a clean soft tartness.
O: Way more floral/perfumey rather than cloying and sugary as I expected. Creamy and complex yeast mixed with very soft and fluffy carbonation really adds to drinkability.
