Blue Hearts
Bonesaw Brewing Company

 

Finger plus of pinkish white foam that sizzles off like it’s on a country skillet, leaves a thin dusting and after a minute nothing. Glowing watermelon pinkish red hued liquid, translucent with a good amount of bubbles visible throughout. The blueberry comes through clearly in the nose, maybe a bit strawberry too, a lemon scent helps it stay stiff, sweet undertones of pie dough to crust, has a kind of vinous quality. About as full-bodied as this style of beer gets, sour but not excessively so. Likely due to the cinnamon and vanilla causing the pie crust flavors to explode across the palate. Arguably more dominant than the blueberry. Lemony here too, maybe even vinegary. To me, beers like this aren’t about complexity per se but nailing the basics. And I think this one does a very good job of that. (Canned 1/8/21)
