Blueberry Sour
Copper Bottom Brewing Company

473 mL can received in a trade - thanks, ewpass! Dated Nov 20 2023 and served slightly chilled.

Pours a hazy purplish colour, producing two fingers of puffy, foamy, light pink-tinged head that fizzles off over the next two minutes or so. A sudsy collar survives, with scant lace deposition - yep, it looks like a blueberry sour, and smells like one too. Fruity, authentic aroma - I'm getting blueberry yogurt and bready, wheaty malts, as well as hints of real blueberry juiciness.

Tasty stuff, a quality fruited sour for sure. Blueberry fruit, wheaty malts, blueberry yogurt and some lemony acidity on the back end; finishes tart, with moderate lactic sourness and blueberry juice fading into the aftertaste. Medium-light body with moderately prickly carbonation; feels juicy and quite smooth on the tongue, with fantastic drinkability.

Final Grade: 3.98, on the top end of a B+. Copper Bottom's Blueberry Sour is a bit of a one-note beer, i.e. it's all blueberry, all the time. However, since so much attention & care appears to have gone into that one facet - and more importantly, since they used real berries instead of an extract - the end result is a very satisfying blueberry beer. Just the right mix of tartness, sweetness and acidity; it's pretty much exactly what I want out of a kettle sour. Strongly recommended to any fan of blueberry beers - thank you ewpass!

Cloudy light purple with a thick even head. Light fruit nose. Sour body with lots of blueberry character and great carbonation. Very good!
