Belt’s Beer Garden: Berry Good

Narrative Fermentations sits in southern San Jose, a few blocks from San Jose State University. Narrative began a few years ago and has quickly become a go-to destination in the South Bay area for well-made hazies and other treats.

Today, I have one of those other treats - The Moon Stood Still, an Imperial Blueberry Cheesecake Sour that was brewed with heaps of Blueberries, Vanilla, and Milk Sugar and comes in with a huge 8% ABV. A four-pack of cans is a bit on the pricier side, costing about $22 for four pints.

This imperial sour ale poured an opaque purple, almost magenta, color with very little head building up.
