A Note on This Beer

I totally get why The Brewing Projekt calls their pastry-inspired Sour series Shove It.

One silky mouthful of today’s Blackberry Lemon Imperial Sour edition, and I’d like to keep all its jammy berry, citrus-zested tartlet flavors to myself. Everyone else can shove it!

Sounds harsh, I know, but much as I want all of my Sour-loving friends to taste this cobbler-esque delight, its layered tangy-sweetness is too sippable to put down. The brewers stuffed it full of blackberries, lemons, and cinnamon, plus a dose of crust-like graham cracker flavor!

And, while the booze is cleverly hidden beneath all that fresh-baked goodness, I do feel that 8.8% ABV warming me up to the idea of sharing.

Sure, I won’t actually tell anyone to “Shove It” if they reach for a sip from my stash. However, unless they’re quick enough to score a supply of their own from Tavour, I will politely suggest they go up to Eau Claire, Wisconsin and hope The Brewing Projekt still has some cans left!

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

You can definitely notice the hint of cinnamon and the flavors do mix well together, highly recommend this to others.

The trip this beer take you on is a wild one. It starts with a turn of tart, the lemon juice hitting your mouth full force, followed by a rush of blackberry, graham cracker, and just the slightest hint of cinnamon. You won't want two of these in a row, but you'll live the one you had.

I REALLY loved how the lemon crept up on u at the end of each tasting note. Like a blackberry pie with a little bit of lemon drizzle at the end of each sip!

Absolutely delicious! Tart, strong blackberry flavor, with a hint of lemon and almost vanilla. Tastes like biting into a slice of pie.

This one was pretty good, didn’t get a lot of lemon flavor

The cinnamon is definitely a different type of taste I thought I’d like to acquire but it’s silky fruit smooth enough to not completely over power. First sip is extreme but it’s gooood

A lot of sediment but in an enjoyable way. The nose had a lot of coconut.

Super sour, low sweet. Lots of sediment

4.5

Nice aromas. The berry and lemon flavors are forward with the cinnamon and graham flavors following. Not too sour. The lemon adds a bit of pithy bitterness. Wish it had some richness to round out the pie feel.

Delicious. Just the right amount of cinnamon and graham cracker to round out the sour of blackberry and lemon.

4.0

Very interesting flavor. A bit on the tart side from the combination of the blackberry and lemon. But balanced out nicely with that cinnamon and graham cracker taste that really gives it a mouthfeel similar to a slice of pie. 1.5 Thumbs up!

Cinnamon on the nose. Blackberry gives a nice flavor, but the other flavors don’t really mix well. Lots of sediment in the can too.

nicholas2880

It’s a decent sweet sour and higher alcohol. I would not call the fast taste blackberry or pie, but you definitely get the lemon.

Nice and refreshing. This tastes like a sugarless blackberry pie… as it should. Somehow the accurate taste and light hints of lime and cinnamon give this great character.

Cinnamon and blackberries for sure. They hit your pallet right after the gulp. Very nice

Very good, tastes like pie!! I stored my can upside down, so I was hit pretty hard with lemon at first, but as it settled the flavors all blended super well!

Tastes like biting into a blackberry pie. The rush of blackberries in the first sip is delicious followed by a tart finish with a lemon crispiness. Absolutely delicious

Too much sediment, and sour flavor is over powering

Good sour, I know the brewery has some really good releases but this particular one had flavor combinations that maybe I just wasn’t used to so that’s why I rate it 3 stars

Drained. Tasted like pina colada with no pineapple or coconut. First drained beer I've had from Tavour.

Idk there was this bitter taste like ginger or something but whatever it was it took away from the flavor. Without that I feel like this would be an amazing beer

I like how bold this mix is - some sips I get blackberry pie, others tart lemon. Pretty smooth for 8.8%, the sediment was a little off putting at first.

Way to tart for me, but I’m not a sour fan. It sounded good so I wanted to try one.

Literally liquified blackberry lemon pie in a can with some carbonation! Exquisite comes to mind while consuming this! Wish I had got more than 1 can!

Sour but reminds me of a cheap malt drink. Blackberry and lemon flavors are there also cinnamon and graham noticeable. It all sounds better than it actually tastes

Pastry, blueberry, lemon, sour, velvety. Great flavor, but the slick remnants of added sugar is a bit of a turn off. Otherwise, an interesting pour.

When buying this I didn't know what sour ale was so it was a big surprise on my first sip, but it's exactly as they describe it. Something I'd have to get used to but it wasn't horrible just over the top sour but one could get used to it

A lot of lemon character with some blackberry, cinnamon and graham cracker. Fairly tart. A bit pie-like but not nearly as good as the Shove It Peach.
