Brunch, Please!

Ghost River Brewing
United States·Fruited Sour
Tap to rate

A light-bodied, slightly tart blueberry maple pancake sour ale with hints of blueberry and maple. It is reminiscent of buttermilk blueberry pancakes, because breakfast is not just for breakfast anymore. The malts are Brewers, Munich, caramel and white wheat, with German noble hops, and it is part of the Brewer's Series of limited editions.

◌ Aroma

Blueberry and maple dominate the nose, evoking fresh buttermilk pancakes with berry compote. Subtle German noble hop aromatics provide a refined herbaceous undertone, while wheat and light caramel notes support the fruited profile without overwhelming it.

◐ Taste

A measured tartness enters cleanly on the palate, balancing the natural sweetness of blueberry and maple adjuncts. Mid-palate reveals soft caramel malt character and delicate wheat notes; bitterness remains restrained and noble, finishing dry with lingering berry acidity.
