A Note on This Beer

Hey, fruit fiends! I’ve got a fun little equation for you:

1,000 lbs of cherries + 800 lbs of blueberries + 600 lbs of raspberries + 600 lbs of blackberries = ?

That’s 3,000 lbs of real fruit! All jammed, crammed, and stuffed into each batch of today’s berrylicious quencher.

Swells of fruity juiciness jive alongside gusts of sweet n’ smooth vanilla beans with each lush sip. It tastes just like a mile-high mixed berry sundae, topped with a healthy dose of pillowy whipped cream.

And, with its dangerously drinkable 8% ABV hidden away, it might be best to save this bodacious beverage for a weekend with a short to-do list.

Although, fair warning: outside of a few local retailers, Tavour is the ONLY spot to snag a can of Mixing Machine.

Definitely had the berry taste for sure. To me it really has a wine taste to it. I think wine lovers would dig this brew.

First sip is sharp and crisp. After that you get the taste of fruit. Very easy drinking, great summer beer.

Ordered this one from Tavour, chilled and poured into an imperial pint glass. Look: cherry red color with a slight opaque look, small pinkish creamy head that dissipated to nothing quickly leaving no head and no lacing Smell: cherry forward with some red raspberry and blueberry earthiness with trailing and far reaching notes of vanilla, almost smells like a Kreik Taste: taste follows the smell with cherries up front, sour notes mid palate with red raspberries, and trailing earthy notes of blueberries (not sure about blackberries though). The vanilla hangs on at the end and we got it in the trailing nose. There was no hop and no booze to speak of. Feel: the sour makes this light to medium mouthfeel with a nice tickle of carbonation that hung around while it warmed Super interesting fruit beer. It is labeled a fruit tart and that is exactly what we got. As I said above, almost like a Kriek with the cherry forward, followed by some light earthy notes and trailing vanilla. Super drinkable beer. Cheers everyone!

Tart, sour and full of fresh berry flavor

The berries are plentiful.. almost plum like. Not too sour which I like.. I almost expected it to be smoothie like with the amount of fruit out into it but it’s pretty light. 8% is a bonus- love it and will buy again!

Pretty run of the mill kettle sour. Thin mouth feel, nothing distinct flavor wise.

Very tart. Some mild flavors detected after several sips.

I dont know why, but I expected something FAR less delicious than this. That 8% ABV is barely noticed behind all the berry goodness. This was an absolute slapper. I regret only buying 2 cans!

Definitely a good sour and closer to even like a canned wine, but it’s nothing thick at all for those in search of those types.

Lightly tart with a big berry/mostly raspberry aroma and flavor. Light-medium bodied and refreshing for 8%.

Big berry flavor with great tartness! Not overly sweet which I liked and can be hard to find in sours.

Fantastic berry flavor and not sweet, which I love. This is a new style for me and it was a perfect way to dip my toes into it.

Was decent. Got a general fruitiness. The fruitiness was mainly a subtle flavor. The tartness overpowered.

It’s nice, not too sour, good berry flavor. I just still feel weird drinking this type of concoction; it doesn’t feel like drinking BEER to me.
