Breakside Sunripened (unknown release)
It's not a sour, it's a fruited golden ale, strong nectarine flavor, very strong wood character, little bit of funk from the wine. Brandy-like. Chamomile is a mellow, herbal hint. It's super yummy.
Bottle
A buttery summer blonde. The flavor is intense for the style, the fragrance almost pungent, the kind of character one might find intolerable in an IPA, but somehow it skirts the edge of unpleasantness here and just kind of adds to the sunny flavor. I liked this a lot and would have gotten a growler if the Sunripened hadn't come along.

I mean, this tasted like exactly what you'd expect. Take the standard bourbon barrel aged salted caramel stout, which is already excellent, and add hazelnut into the mix. Nuttiness is mild, and the caramel is mellow and sweet.

Breakside Err to Excess (2018)
It's yum+. Because it's better than the Fourth Wave. But not awesome level. It's like butter pecan ice cream in a beer. With coffee. And alcohol. How can you go wrong.
Draft
Meh. Could be penalizing for being late in the tasting but not impressed.
Draft
Good flavor, dry, fragrant. Doesn't necessarily taste like the strong fruit of a typical hazy ale, and definitely a little more bitter than I like.
Draft
Surprisingly palatable IPA. Apparently I don't hate "hazy" IPAs... as much. Or something.
Draft
Really long malty finish. If you're into that this is awesome. I'm not sure I am though....
Draft
Starts tame and then kicks in a bit before finishing nice and easy. Just a hint of malt? Grassy too but in a good way.
Draft
Round bright raspberry flavor followed by a very mellow almost candy finish. Just a touch of wood. Clean and delicious.
Draft
Nice sour but with caramel darkness making it a bit unusual. Almost gritty?
