Kettle sour brewed with blackberry and lactose. It’s tart but full bodied and slightly sweet due to the lactose and low attenuation of our house yeast. It’s meant to resemble a fruit smoothie.

Skinny, 12oz can. No dating information found.
Murky for clarity, deep crimson red colored body. Brief lasting pinkish colored head, and this results in an island and thin ring. Leaves some small spots and thin webs of lacing.
Aroma is strong with blackberry, with some evident lactose.
Taste is quite tart, and the lactose struggles to balance with sweetness. Flavors of blackberry and cherry. Short lived aftertaste.
Slightly more than medium mouthfeel. Dries the mouth and tongue and does a minor scrape on the teeth. Okay carbonation.
Misses the mark on being a smoothie but does have authentic blackberry flavor, although dosed with lactose.

Had Chromatose at Savannah Taphouse, Savannah, on draft into tulip.
Pours apparently dark purple but actually deep, opaque raspberry-red when backlit, with 1- to 2-finger pink head, which quickly dissipates to a ring, and leaves only specks of lace. Huge, pleasant blackberry aroma off pour, which continues into aromas of white bread, then some noticeable funk, and a bit of saline, maybe, and finally a little more sour fruit aroma as warms. On tasting, begins a bit tart, but only a bit due to the calming lactose, then it's straight fruit (blackberry) juice-ade, and (only) a little sharper sour, over a smooth biscuit body, before a decently crisp, fruity finish.
This is a smooth and palatable (more) fruited (less) sour. That said, I’m not a fan of brewing a sharp sour beer then adding lactose and backing down.
