Bright, bold crimson coloring, slimmed, creamy head above, looking good.
In the nose: tart, fruity, very blackberry.In the mouth: Big sour from the start, big blast of blackberry. A little bit of lactic sour. Bright, bold, fierce. Puckering. Refreshing. Lightish bodied and easy drinking. Tasty.
If you're into fruity kettle sours, why, by all means.
This pretty lady will make you pucker.
Our Sour Wench Blackberry Ale is a fruity Berliner Weisse-style beer bursting with Oregon blackberry flavor and aroma. The fruit addition adds a beautiful violet hue, and the taste has an approachable soft tartness from kettle souring. This artful gypsy will surely lure you into the world of sour beers.
And here's more, less marketing-ese:
Sour Wench was a Home Brew Mart recipe that we made every year for the Southern California Home brewers Fest in Temecula. This Blackberry Ale was originally developed by Ballast Point’s original Master Brewer Peter A’Hearn and Colby Chandler. While interning in Germany, Peter fell in love with the Berliner Weiss style of beer. A beer made with a procedure in which the mash was soured. The tartness of the Oregon State Marion Blackberries, at one pound per gallon, was a perfect addition for this sour style. Sour Wench is not aged in oak barrels. In the end, it’s a great bridge beer into the sour styles.
