Amalgam Brewing Boysenbarrel

What the brewers say

“Jammy boysenberries with the biggest oak expression we’ve had to date.”

What our panel thought

“Sweet berry notes coupled with hints of orange creamsicle, brown sugar, vanilla. In the flavor, a bold acidic and tart punch of blackberry and currant.”

What our editors thought

“Horse stall, berry stem, and dried-fruit tea on the nose subvert jammier expectations set by the vivid color. The sip finds a bit of berry sweetness, with elements of earth and grape skin.”
