From the brewer

On the Metro, Vol. 1 is the first in a series of Berliner Weisse-style tart beers we plan to release. For this beer, we tweaked the usual Berliner Weisse format: we started with the traditional sour wheat beer, but then added blueberry puree during fermentation--over a pound per gallon! The beer pours a beautiful dark purple, and the flavor is blueberries and bread, with a touch of yogurt-like lactic acidity. Just the thing for spring. Or maybe for breakfast, come to think of it...

Who's been drinking this

Slightly watered down in character from what I was expecting, but once the fruit hits it's actually quite appealing. A very clean, semi-dry tartness, with a touch of sweet-funky wheat to close. A bit of a palate-wrecker, though... Watch what you plan to drink afterwards.
Very subdued almost watered down sourness. Nice fruity flavors but the blueberry is very subtle. Tangy character with faint sulfur smell.
