The label and category here on rateBeer had me thinking this was a straight up sour ale. It\u2019s not. It\u2019s like drinking Black Tuesday with a small injection of a mildly funky tart taste that honestly tastes like the tartness you\u2019d get from blueberries alone. Maybe it\u2019ll get more sour with time? Either way, blueberries hit in the middle and finish.
