Berry Drop

Italy·Fruited Sour
Tap to rate

A fruited sour at 4.5%, brewed with blueberry juice, oat flakes, lactose and an infusion of osmanthus flowers; the idea was a sour with fruit and flowers. Apricot, peach, honey and red fruits make up the aroma, and the juice turns the beer violet. It appeared in 2026 in Wondercraft, Vetra's series of collaboration brews.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Berry Drop

◎ Appearance

A striking violet hue dominates the glass, the result of blueberry juice infusion creating a jewel-like clarity. The beer presents a delicate, fine-bubbled head with gentle lacing that clings softly to the glass walls. The low color intensity (5 SRM) combines with the fruit coloring to produce an unusual and visually arresting presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright stone fruit notes—apricot and peach lead, followed by honeyed sweetness and red berry undertones. Osmanthus flowers contribute a subtle floral complexity that prevents the fruit from dominating. The aromatic profile remains restrained and well-integrated, with no harsh or fermented edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and lightly tart, the lactose providing a soft, almost creamy foundation that balances the acidity from the sour base. Mid-palate brings forward blueberry character alongside stone fruit notes, while oat flakes contribute a gentle, grainy texture. The minimal bitterness (10 IBU) remains nearly imperceptible, allowing fruit and flowers to define the palate without interference.

◑ Finish

The finish trails gently into the aftertaste with lingering fruitiness and a whisper of floral dryness. The low alcohol (4.5%) ensures a light, refreshing conclusion without warming or heaviness.
