Ophiussa Blackbird
Sour Ale 5 º
Ophiussa Blackbird, a collaboration with Salama Brewing, presents a lush and vibrant expression of the Wild Specialty Beer style. This smoothie-inspired sour centers on a "holy trinity" of forest berries—blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry—layered over a velvety peach canvas. The sensory experience is defined by an intense, jammy aromatic profile reminiscent of sun-ripened fruit and wild woodland thickets. Visually striking with its deep red hues, the palate balances bright lactic acidity with the natural sweetness of the fruit. The result is a complex, fruit-forward profile where the tartness of the berries harmonizes with a smooth, nectar-like body and a lingering, refreshing finish.
Appearance. Deep, opaque red to purple hue. Pours with a thick, pinkish-tinted head that shows moderate to poor retention, typical of fruited sours. High turbidity and smoothie-like consistency.
Aroma. High intensity aromatics of freshly picked forest berries. Dominant notes of jammy raspberry and tart blackberry are supported by the earthy sweetness of blueberry. A floral, stone-fruit peach character provides a sweet background, accompanied by a clean lactic tartness and very subtle wild funk.
Taste. Initial impression is a bold, tart explosion of mixed berries. The sharp zing of raspberry and blackberry leads, followed by the rounding, nectar-like sweetness of peach which serves as a flavor canvas. Low hop bitterness. The finish is long and fruit-heavy, balancing fruity sweetness with a refreshing lactic acidity that prevents cloying.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, luscious, and slightly viscous texture. Carbonation is moderate. A very slight tannic astringency from berry skins provides structure without harshness. No noticeable alcohol warmth.

Brewery Notes:
This time we joined forces with Salama from Espoo in Finland to gift you with another incredible Smoothie Sour and, as Finland is known for its wide variety of berries, it was precisely on these that we focused our fruit selection. We chose blackberry, blueberry and raspberry as the holly trinity of berries for this beer because they give it a fantastic aromatic profile of berries freshly picked from the forest. We also added peach which serves as a canvas for this red-toned painting. Kippis!
