Black & Blue Tart

◎ Appearance

Deep garnet to black in the glass, translucent at the edges when held to light. Fine carbonation rises steadily, building a modest tan head that settles to a thin collar. The body carries subtle haze from fruit solids, characteristic of a kettle sour fermentation.

◌ Aroma

Bright blackberry and blueberry lead immediately, with tart berry compote notes dominating the nose. Beneath the fruit sits a delicate floral undertone and soft acidity that suggests the sour character without overwhelming. No significant malt or hop aroma; the fruit is the point.

◐ Taste

Berry fruit arrives first—dark berry sweetness balanced against bright tartness that defines the entry. Mid-palate remains light and clean, the acidity keeping everything refreshing without turning thin or astringent. Gentle fruit sweetness and mild residual dryness finish together, with no harsh edges or lingering bitterness.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and dry, the tart fruit fading cleanly without hanging in the aftertaste. Refreshment persists as the dominant sensation.
