Noble Star Collection: Dark Perimeter
August Schell Brewing Company

 

Dark Perimeter pours a dark purple, with a larger, long-lasting, fizzy head. The aroma is tart with blackberry notes. The flavor is sweet blackberries and a very tart finish. A great blend of sweet and sour. Overall, it is simple, sour, and sweet, with good fruit flavors and a very high-quality sour ale.

On tap. Very cloudy tootsie roll raspberry color.

Way too sour and vinegary. Tart fruit. Medicinal. Just tastes off. Very malty as well. I normally like the starkeller beers, but this is pretty undrinkable.

Pours a hazy blackberry color with a light purple head . Smell is citrus ,lemon and blackberries Taste has tart lemon with sweeter blackberries ,some chocolate and funk , Mouth tart and acidic with lemon citrus too strong like the offset of the blackberries

375ml bottle purchased in a Schell's Berliner Weisse variety 4-pack. No date on label. Pours purple or a cloudy burgundy. Minimal head. This thing smells very acidic, blackberry, and barnyard funk. Not usually a fan of dark sours but this is very light on the dark malt and keeps it wheat malt roots. Very acidic and borders on kettle sour levels and I don't think I have ever had this level of acidity in a Starkeller beer before. A lot of blackberry with a nice funky cheese background. Not the lightest beer or the most abundantly carbonated which is unfortunate. Would of like more life in the body. Not the best Berliner Schell's has produced but still quite good. I would of liked less acid and more funk but this is the way of sours nowadays.
