To Ol Mr. Blue

Mr. Blue is a vibrant sour beer crafted by Denmark's To Ol, presenting an engaging blend of traditional brewing grains and a lush infusion of Nordic blueberries. This Saison-style ale, with its 7% ABV and 53 IBU, is brewed with a rustic combination of wheat, barley, oats, and rye, offering a textured backdrop that perfectly complements its tart undertones. The liberal use of blueberries—500 kg per 1000 liters—brings a vivid splash of color and a delightful berry aroma, evoking the essence of a Scandinavian forest in full bloom. Pouring a mesmerizing shade of deep purple, Mr. Blue greets you with a complex bouquet of aromas that intertwine classic Belgian yeast notes with subtle hints of ripe blueberry and earthy forest floor undertones. On the palate, this sour beer is refreshingly tart, its acidity balanced by the sweet and slightly earthy flavors of the berries, while the grains offer a creamy, rounded mouthfeel. Each sip reveals layers of flavor that dance playfully, making it an intriguing choice for those who appreciate the nuances of sour ales. For the optimal tasting experience, serve Mr. Blue chilled at around 45–50°F (7–10°C) in a tulip glass. This glassware will accentuate its aromatic profile and help maintain its effervescent head, enhancing the aromatic richness and its visual appeal. Pair this complex sour with a variety of dishes to explore its versatility—try it with a goat cheese salad, where the creamy tang of the cheese harmonizes with the beer's acidity, or with grilled salmon, where its berry notes can complement the savory richness of the fish. Whether you're exploring the world of sour beers or simply looking for a unique brew to enjoy, Mr. Blue promises a memorable journey through flavors that reflect the lush landscapes and brewing artistry of Denmark.
