Bent Paddle Wilderness Tuxedo Boysenberry American Sour Ale

Bent Paddle Wilderness Tuxedo Boysenberry American Sour Ale. 4.4 % ABV. 5 IBU. Bent Paddle Brewing, Duluth, MN.

Perfectly hazed, dark crimson colored, completely and utterly pink-ed out head of foam. Looking all kinds of beautiful.

In the nose: it's berry time. Softly sour. Sweet, fruity, and funky.

In the mouth: There's your boysenberry. And here comes the sour. And then. Yeah, that's it. Light bodied, soft finish. It's sour and it's fruity and it's gone. It comes back fresh and flavorful for each new sip, then dips back out again.

We love to dress to impress...Mother Nature--and a button up flannel is about as fancy as the wilderness needs us to be! We brewed an American Kettle Sour, in the Berliner Weisse style, to pair with the fresh flavors of boysenberries. Low in alcohol with a refreshing, yet buttoned-up tartness, our Boysenberry American Sour will take you along on it's own adventure!

I guess that "buttoned-up" is their way of saying "not wild." If you want light, refreshing, fruity, and slightly tart, you'll get your wish in this one. But don't complain that it isn't more than that.
