Blueberry Sour

Tap to rate

A fruited sour that tastes of blueberry, poured on tap at the Lacada taproom at 7A Victoria Street in Portrush. The brewery has made it more than once: it showed up in November 2025 and again in spring 2026. Lacada began as a father and son nano-brewery, and more than 400 co-owners stand behind it today.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced blueberry flavor that carries cleanly through the mid-palate, followed by brisk sourness and gentle tartness that provides structure without harshness. Low bitterness (10 IBU) remains barely perceptible, allowing the fruit and acid to lead.
