Sour Wench

◎ Appearance

A pale, translucent golden body with a violet tint from kettle-souring and Oregon blackberry adjunct. The beer presents with a delicate, fine white head that dissipates to a thin lacing along the glass. Bright carbonation creates gentle effervescence characteristic of the Berliner Weisse style.

◌ Aroma

Blackberry and dark fruit aromatics dominate the nose, offering ripe berry and subtle floral notes of violet. Bright acidity undercuts the fruit, with a whisper of wheat malt supporting the overall profile. The kettle-sour process introduces a clean, lactic tang without phenolic or funky character.

◐ Taste

Blackberry and tart dark fruit flavors enter first, followed by the soft, approachable sourness that defines the beer's character. The mid-palate carries crisp acidity and a delicate wheat malt sweetness, while minimal bitterness (10 IBU) allows the fruit and tartness to lead. A subtly sweet undertone lingers without cloying.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering dark fruit and gentle acidity that fades to a faintly sweet aftertaste. The moderate alcohol sits comfortably in the background, leaving a smooth, dry impression.
