A Note on This Beer

“In a city with many elite Sour breweries, Black Project makes a serious argument as the best of the bunch!” –The Beer Travel Guide

“These folks are single minded and relentlessly passionate.” –USA Today

“When someone buys a Black Project beer, they’re not simply buying the liquid, but investing in American ingenuity and experimentation.” –Hop Culture

Yep, pretty much everyone agrees that Denver’s Black Project makes some of the best Spontaneous and Wild Ales available anywhere! If you want to find out for yourself, just grab a can of Cryptic!

The wild yeasts make it funky and tart, while a huge pile of blueberries and blackberries bring the bright, sunny flavors! 

This light and fruity brew with its all-day ABV is just the thing for daytime sipping. It’ll provide soothing refreshment during an afternoon of yard work, or calming relaxation during an afternoon spent sitting on the porch and procrastinating the yard work. 

Go ahead, open a can, kick your feet up, and bask in flavors of tart blueberry and tangy lemon. On the finish, the pucker gives way to blackberry sweetness, inviting that next sip. Don’t worry — the yard will still be there tomorrow.

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Sour of course which is enough to my liking, but the aftertaste was heavy even in between sips. For a 4.1% too, I still couldn't handle it.

mouth puckery sour with very light fruit flavor. seems like the fruit is there for color not flavor. definitely don’t drink if you are only meh about sours.

I dig the sours with a nice, delicate fruit balance, but sometimes I just like a good kick in the face. This one is the kick in the face, and it’s delicious.

Tart blueberry skins, w/ a dry & funky finish. Super pleasant mix of that acidic burst up front without the heavy lingering body

Very very tart, sour, bittersweet. More blackberry than blueberry but still very good. If you like sour like warhead candies then you like this except it never turns sweet just sour all day lol.
