Roses by the Stairs Brewing Blackberry-Picking
What the brewers say
“Quick sour with active and mixed culture of Lacto and kveik. Berliner-style with Arizona-grown blackberries.”
What our panel thought
“Bright expression of ripe blackberry, full of earthy hedgerow notes on the nose, hinting at bramble. A deep, satisfying sweetness on the palate, with a malty undertone of bread or pie crust—blackberry tart. Long, dry finish, with distinct tartness balanced by a hint of sweetness.”
What our editors thought
“Sweaty, musty locker-room nose with woody hints of berry. Brighter in the sip, with real fruit and near-dryness that brings out a wine-like berry crispness.”
