What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #4350

That is a cool beer and can art @AzfromOz ! Thanks for opening the bar today.

The plan before today was to drink porters and stouts, but this pairs better with the rest of my Greek Salad. Thank you once again @Blogjackets for sharing one of my favorites!

Good morning.
This was the only bottled/canned beer purchased outside the holiday haul brought from home.

Birrificio Canesciolto (Perfugas, ITA) - MARIPOSA - Blackberry fruit sour (4,8%)

It's a Fruit Sour with local wild blackberries, on the label: "Batch no.: 131423 - Bottled on: July 23, 2023 - Best before: July 23, 2025".
When uncorked, a fairly sweet aroma of black berry jam (blackberries, blackcurrants).
When poured, it has a very reddish color, bright on the outside, quite dense and cloudy and opaque on the inside: like a kriek, darker.
More abundant foam than I expected, although of ephemeral consistency.
In the mouth, a light-bodied beer but with a full taste, in the sense that those sweeter than woody notes almost drag you further, a drink that is in itself very light.
The blackberry flavor is distinguishable and veers more towards sweet than woody, in fact even the acidic note is very contained, but of appreciable naturalness (blackberries will never release an acidity of raspberries or blueberries ...). Full taste on a beer with a very light structure and from which emerge at the end, after the sour hint, light notes of cereal (wheat? I would say yes, even if it is not specified on the label).
So the tongue remains clean and ready for a new sip, while in the palate appreciable light traces of blackberry jam.
Well-made beer, discreet and "aged" very well (younger it would probably have been even more "jammy") that communicates a truthful and natural taste.
Of course... it was priced out of the market, despite its touristic location, ... I wanted to indulge myself by tasting it, but at these prices you can buy Boon's Geuze, for example...
A good beer that no one will ever buy at that price.





Sláinte.
Cheers.

Where The Party At NEIPA from Mad Scientist in Budapest, a collab with Willibald Farm Distillery & Brewery in Ontario. It's damn good, if rather sweet.



Also, I'm in a new AirBnB as my time here in Budapest transitions from vacation to work. Going forward my posts from BP will probably all be after quitting time

Egészségedre!
