Just Toorf Strawberry/Blackberry
Ascension Brewing Company

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned in 10/2018. Pours opaquely murky dark ruby red/purple color with no head retention or lacing on the glass. Some light lingering bubbles on the glass, and streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy strawberries, blackberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange juice, peach, plum, pear, melon, red/green apple, red grape, hay, straw, grass, wheat, white bread, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of berries, fruity/light acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge juicy/lightly tart/tangy strawberries, blackberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange juice, peach, plum, pear, melon, red/green apple, red grape, hay, straw, grass, wheat, white bread, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light fruity/lactic tartness and fruit tang on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy strawberries, blackberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange juice, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, red grape, hay, straw, grass, wheat, white bread, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of berries, fruity/light acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a nice malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with no cloying/puckering flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering tartness and tangy fruit. Light carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/pulpy, and lightly acidic/tangy/tannic mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.4%. Overall this is an amazing fruit beer! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of berries, fruity/light acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mildly acidic/tangy/drying finish. Not overly lactic. This was way less sour than the Peach/Passionfruit version. Insanely huge berry jam flavors; with balanced fruity Lacto complexity, and pale/wheat malt sweetness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example.
