Off Color Blueberry Yuzu Fierce (pack of 4) (47.3cl, 4.2%)

A fruited Berliner Weisse-style sour ale from Chicago's Off Color Brewing, sold in a 4-pack of 16 oz cans. It layers ripe blueberry onto the Fierce line's yuzu-and-calamansi citrus backbone, giving a deep ruby-red pour with the tart, refreshing character of blueberry lemonade Italian ice. The wort uses a 50/50 grain bill of pilsner malt and wheat, including flaked wheat. It is kettle-soured overnight with Off Color's proprietary Lactobacillus strain, then pasteurized, fermented with farmhouse ale yeast, and conditioned on blueberry, yuzu and calamansi puree. The result is clean lactic acidity with layered fruit complexity. Aroma leads with ripe blueberry, sharp yuzu and a subtle tropical calamansi note, with a faint lactic tang beneath. The taste is bright and tart, with juicy blueberry, yuzu's lime-grapefruit character and calamansi's tropical sharpness. The finish is dry, crisp and cleansing, with lingering tartness and blueberry skin and citrus pith.
