Good Word Brewing & Public House Gran Gran

What the brewers say

“Blackberry cobbler fruited sour.”

What our panel thought

“Hints of apple peel and blackberry vodka in the aroma. Pie comes through nicely in the flavor. Balance is more toward the sour and tart, but it still works.”

What our editors thought

“Beautiful purple head and rich wine- colored body make it quite attractive. On the nose, the wine theme continues with a hefty blackberry note. It’s sweet-ish in the sip without going full-on sweet, and the spicy blackberry tannin and subtle spice offer a nice balance to the sweeter elements. Drinkable, without feeling like a compromise.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

West Sixth Brewing Sixfold VI: Blackberries

Ripe blackberry nose with additional layers of oak and cherries atop an underlying barnyard Brett character. Well-balanced mouthfeel. Initial jammy berry flavor quickly overtaken by strong oak, which becomes dominant. A wood beer with fruit flavor.

Yazoo Brewing A Travers Le Plateau Fruité

Solid aroma of sour cherry, light leathery funk and oak tannins, low caramel and toast malt, light oaky vanilla with moderate balanced acidity. Mild cheesy notes. Off-dry in finish, cherry and funky notes linger.

Good Word Brewing & Public House There Will Be Days

“Brilliant yellow color with white foam. Initial burnt-sulfur aroma followed by white-grape must and black currant. Some wet, grassy herbaceous aromas fall behind. Balanced mouthfeel with just enough bitterness toward the end to make you want more. Finish is crisp and dry.”
