A Note on This Beer

The key to an excellent PB&J sandwich is the ratio between the peanut butter and the jelly.

I like to spread a smooth layer of peanut butter on each slice of bread, then add a couple of dollops of jelly on one of the slices. I spread the jelly evenly, smoosh the halves together, and slice it diagonally down the middle.

Naturally, as a sandwich connoisseur, I jumped at the chance to try today’s Peanut Butter & Blackberry Jelly Sour from Urban Artifact. It’s the latest gourmet concoction in their food-inspired Epicurean series, and it’s causing craft fans to toss their bread and Jif to the wind with reckless abandon.

Like thoughtful parents, the brewers packed this fantasy of a lunch with tons of real, juicy blackberries and roasted peanuts. But, unlike your folks’ handiwork, this craveworthy Sour comes with a just-for-grownups 8.5% ABV!

After one taste, I gotta agree with Forbes, who raves that Urban Artifact “may have the best fruit beers in the nation.”

Light fruity and nutty taste, it tastes more like a medium almost coffee like stout with an after taste of slight fruit and nut. Not what I was expecting. Not bad but not thr flavor I expected.

definitely tastes like blackberries. I'm not getting much peanut from it though. overall pretty decent, considering it's an ABV of 8.5%

It definitely hits what it aims to hit with the peanut butter and jelly notes, but that combo definitely makes for an unusual sour!

slightly disappointed with this. not sure if it was intended to be more sour or fruited, but didn’t like the flavor blend

I didn’t get any of the roasted peanut flavor it promised, I think it was just overpowered by the blackberry. That said, I still really enjoyed it. It was easy drinking and tasty.

I just couldn't get on board with the peanut flavor for some reason.

most pbj beers are really heavy. this one is a lot lighter which is really interesting in a good way. Just a touch of sour and then the pb comes in at the end.

Pretty sour (which I like) but none of the other flavors come through. The peanut butter is barely there and conflicts with the sour taste alot.

if you like tart, this is the way to go. really exposes that black raspberry flavor. fruited is an understatement!!!

jeffrey1686

this beer doesn’t know what it wants to be. is it a sour? is it fruited? beer with an identity crisis.

Pretty good sunny day pool side sipper, very berry forward and there is definitely a nuttiness in the smell and after taste

a pb&j if you smothered it in jelly and sat it next to a jar of peanut butter.

Not a ton of peanut butter flavor like I expected

Not very sour at all, little bit of blackberry jelly, virtually no peanut flavor. Feels like they played it safe on every flavor profile, but I want it more sour, more berry, more peanut

peanut butter up front and the blackberry came out more as I let it warm up. solid taste for sharing, I wouldn’t want a whole one myself. sneaky abv you don’t taste at all.

Definite distinction of peanuts and blackberries! A very nice combo.
