a 10oz Wave Motion Ruby West Coast IPA and 4oz Super Blue Sour from Our Mutual Friend Brewing

the spots:

our mutual friend brewing, 28th and larimer
izzio bakery in denver central market, 27th and larimer

the goods:

OMF's Super Blue blueberry sour ale, bright and super tart
Izzio's sea salt caramel chocolate tart

what's going on here:

walk around larimer on a nice day and have a treat. this sour ale is surprisingly pleasant with this chocolate tart in spite of some more striking elements from the puckering nature of the sour and the sea salt on the tart. the smooth chocolate blends well with the berry and if you're at OMF relaxing in the taproom thinking about how the sunlight hits, with beer and dessert you're kind of in a great spot.
