This interesting Berliner comes from Oozlefinch Brewing in Fort Monroe, VA. It combines a tart sweetness from blueberries with a floral note from lavender, making for a very unique flavor profile that I honestly haven’t experienced with any other beers to this point. The lavender is not so forward that you think of hand soap, so no worries there. The mouthfeel is crisp and effervescent, with medium body and quite smooth. I enjoyed this one immensely!

Appearance: grapefruit pink in color, slightly hazy, light head
Mouthfeel: light-bodied, smooth, crisp
Flavor: true plum and apricot notes, mostly tart with a little sweetness at the end
Overall thoughts: I enjoyed the different flavor profile of this one, really stood out to me from other fruited sours I’ve had. Not too sweet, interestingly. I’d have it again!
