Remember Tayberry? It’s back, along with a creamy vanilla & milk sugar treatment! Named after the River Tay in Scotland, it's a cross between a red raspberry and a blackberry. Generally larger in size, sweeter and very aromatic. Augmented with additional raspberry and blackberry to meet all your juicy, jammy needs!

Can poured into an Alvarado Street Brewery beer glass
A: Pours hazy dark ruby red with a frothy pale fuchsia/magenta head that settles to a firm layer and leaves some nice lacing.
S: Tons of berries, sweet vanilla and lactose, lactic tartness, slight earthy notes, and some crackery malt.
T: Pleasant lemony lactic tartness, big hit of raspberries and blackberries, vanilla and lactose slowly come out to play, slight peppery earthy notes, crackery malt, and a little bit of alcohol that can come through.
M: On the fuller side of medium body, moderately lively carbonation.
O: Love me some berries and the vanilla and lactose are nice additions to an already solid base beer. My only mild gripe is I think they imperialized it just a little too much. Somewhere in the 6s would have been plenty, but at 7.5% some alcohol can poke through and detract from what is otherwise a very nice beer.
