Ballast Point Sour Wench

This 7.0% ABV sour blackberry ale is from the Ballast Point Brewing Company of San Diego, California. 

The beer pours a mix of dark salmon pink and light purple in color. There is a half-inch of very light purple-pink foam. The aroma is tart and very fruity, full of sweet, ripe, blackberry, and a light touch of leather. The taste follows the aromas, a very nice blend of sweet, ripe, blackberry, sour tartness, and a touch of tobacco and leather. The beer drinks with that watery feel that sours tend to make, although at the same time not light in body. The carbonation seems lacking for an instant, then comes in on a wave of fine, intense bubbles.
