About This Beer

And if you’re a fan of tart and fruity brews, you won’t want to miss this one. The brewers unlocked intensely jammy flavors by infusing their tangy base with 2600 lbs of blackberries and a heap of real vanilla in every 30 barrel batch.

Tasting Notes

Every drop coats the taste buds like a dollop of homemade preserves. Creamy vanilla tempers the tart and smooths the finish before a bit of sweetness balances things out for a shockingly drinkable sip you’ll want to come back to all afternoon long.

Excellent, like everything I’ve had from UA. Fruit forward, not painfully sour, just tart and delicious.

Urban Artifact is quickly becoming one of my faves. This tangy and sweet (but not overly in either direction) is so tasty! Leaves me wishing I had picked up more. Blackberry slap to the taste buds. Amazing brew

A little too tart. Good flavor but seemed flat

Ultra sour, yet the blackberry flavor finds its way through. Bright and balanced nicely. Finish is clean and slightly wheaty.

Daily corona battle. Late night work edition. This is blackberry sweet, just a balancing touch of tart and vanilla smooth. Tart punches initially, but sweet and smooth rule the day. Another urban artifact winner.

Liked this better than Astrolabe. Nice balance of tart and sweet. Lots of blackberry and the vanilla smooths everything out.

Nice berries, very tart

4.0

Very nice sour. The blackberries came across more like blueberries but I actually preferred the flavor. Could have used more vanilla and maybe a little lactose to enhance the creamy finish. Not too sweet, not too sour, very well balanced. Not boozy at all despite an 8% ABV, goes down fast and easy.

Tasty, a little more on the tart side than many of the other fruited sours I've had. Strong blackberry flavor.
