Batch #4: Blackberries
Heidelberg Malt, White Wheat, Hersbrucker Hops, Blackberries, Yeast
Drank it from a 16oz can, so Look was arbitrary. Nice and sour without being overwhelming. Medium taste, strong fruity aroma. Good quality tasty beer but not particularly memorable.

Very drinkable mild sour. Not very complex. Would be a good starter sour for someone coming from light beers.

Pours a slightly hazy orange gold color with a thin fizzy head that settles immediately to nothing.
Aroma is sour sweet apple, a bit of berry and some bread
Flavor is similar, really not changing from start to finish, so there is no evolution in the flavor. Not too bready so the sourness comes through solid but not intrusive.
Feel is a little crisp and tart on the tongue.
For a straight sour this has a pleasant taste with nothing really off. It doesn't have much character IMO so I may not reach out for it again but it is a solid product.
