A couple years ago while in the Catskills, Dan was introduced to Subversive’s Forbidden Fruit Black Currant Sour, sharing with you now.







Subversive Malting and Brewing Forbidden Fruit Black Currant Sour







STYLE: Fruited Sour Ale (Simple Sour)INGREDIENTS: Black currant juiceABV: 6.0%IBU: N/AAVAILABILITY: 16 oz. cans/Draft (Seasonal)Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and website.















Appearance







Clear, deep red/magenta with a thin, rose-tinted head.







Aroma







Red fruit, with a mixture of black cherry and a hint of black currant.







Taste







Medium tartness followed by the mixed berries continuing from the nose.







Mouthfeel







Light in the palate and fairly dry.







Overall







If you can, go visit and also try the slushy version of this too during the warmer months when they produce it. Pairing-wise, ice cream/gelato, custards, and related desserts would be great with this.







Cheers and remember:







Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
