A Note on This Beer

I really hope the government doesn’t catch wind of Black Project’s juicy new beer release.

Not because BACKFIRE is named after two(!) different secretive government projects. But, because it’s an insanely lush, gently puckering, Dry-Hopped Sour Ale brimming with what the brewers call “an outrageous blend of tangerine,” alongside tropical Lemondrop and Enigma Hops.

If the government suits, or anyone else for that matter, find out about it, they’ll suck down the whole juicy stash! 

Fortunately, the Sour masters at Black Project are all about secrecy. They rarely repeat recipes, and they like to keep the full details under wraps. Heck, many of their releases don’t even leave the taproom.

And, it’s worked! Their limited creations have landed them the prestigious spot as the Denver Post’s Colorado Brewery of the Year — twice!

It takes a lot to stand out in the beer-soaked Centennial state, and it’s even more impressive that Black Project’s managed it through their covert operations. If the government discovers BACKFIRE, it’s game over, because everybody will find out and descend on the taproom stash faster than you can say “Declassified.”

Are you up for a top-secret taste of this tangy tangerine?

Beautiful bright crispy tangerine with minimal tartness (I’d prefer a bit more).

I don't drink many fruited sour beers, but for me this one just doesn't do it for me. Wish I only bought one.

Bright, juicy tangerine notes. Stronger fruit flavors than in other Black Project brews, but with comparatively less tartness.

Great sour, extremely tart and fruity, almost like drinking lemon juice straight from the fruit. Not too sweet either, and lasting Tangyness on the pallet

Nicely done sour! Very puckery orange/tangerine notes. The aroma is fresh and bright. It’s a great day beer. You can still get a taste of hops. I absolutely love this. It’s an every time of day, any situation type of beer.

Sour and tangy, citrusy and crisp, a bit of barnyard funk.

Just pure ass tangerine on the nose and palate. Probably not for the citrus adverse, but a refreshing treat. After a little bit of time there's a lovely, slight gin note.

I’m pretty disappointed in this one. The initial taste is sour and good but the after taste lingers and is weirdly bitter. It’s like biting the outside of an orange.

Great sour. Definitely on the tart side, which is very welcomed in this age of super juicy “sours.” Great warm weather beer
