Smiley Brewing Berries & Cream Sour

Berries & Cream Sour is a smooth (or should that be smoothie? I'll see myself out) operator from the Pakenham brewery that’s incredibly full-bodied while remaining easy to drink. Pouring with a striking purple hue, take one sip and you can’t help but notice how full-bodied the beer is, particularly for one that sits at 4.7 percent ABV.

Naturally, the next thing you’ll notice is the intense blackberry flavour that carries through with each sip, with a touch of currant bringing further berry tones. Throw in a rich creaminess and a counterpunch of tartness, and you have a smoothie-like beer that’s built for balance over brashness.
