Ecliptic Brewing Releases UltraViolet Blackberry Sour Ale + Syrah Barrel-Aged and Rye Barrel-Aged Variations

Today Ecliptic Brewing will release its fan favorite Ultra Violet Blackberry Sour Ale along with two barrel aged versions – Syrah Barrel-Aged UltraViolet Blackberry Sour Ale and Rye Barrel-Aged UltraViolet Blackberry Sour Ale.

The sour beers will be available in 22oz bottles throughout the Ecliptic distribution network alongside a limited amount of draft in Oregon and Washington.

Here’s a breakdown on all three versions of UltraViolet Blackberry Sour Ale.

UltraViolet Blackberry Sour Ale
UltraViolet is brewed with Oregon blackberries, soured in the brewhouse.  The result is a tart and crisp sour ale, with ripe blackberry flavors radiating throughout it like cosmic rays traversing the universe.
ABV 7.5%

Syrah Barrel-Aged UltraViolet Blackberry Sour Ale
UltraViolet was tucked away in 6-year-old Syrah red wine barrels for 9 months.  The flavors of oak and ripe fruit meld with the sour blackberries for a delicious flavor.
ABV 9.5%

Rye Barrel-Aged UltraViolet Blackberry Sour Ale
UltraViolet spent 10 months sleeping in 6-year-old rye whiskey barrels, developing a profile of flavors reminiscent to a fine cocktail.
ABV 9.5%

Later today from 5:00-8:00pm Ecliptic Brewing will be unveiling these beers and tapping a few other sour beer offerings at the Iron Tap Station – Brooklyn Yard located at 4774 SE Milwaukie Ave, Portland, OR 97202. There will be six Ecliptic beers pouring including UltraViolet Blackberry Sour Ale, Syrah Barrel-Aged UltraViolet Blackberry Sour Ale, Rye Barrel-Aged UltraViolet Blackberry Sour Ale, Zenith Grapefruit Gose, Carina Peach Sour Ale, and Bourbon Barrel-Aged Carina Peach Sour Ale with Brett.
