Raspberry Sour Crush

Tap to rate

Raspberry Sour Crush is an American ale from 10 Barrel in Bend, Oregon, made with acidulated white wheat, raspberries and an inoculation of lactobacillus in the fermenter, which give it a tart, fruity taste. Low hop levels let the sour flavors dominate, and rice syrup helps yield a light finish and body. The brewery calls it a real summer refresher. 6.5% ABV.

◌ Aroma

Bright raspberry and red berry fruit dominate the nose, backed by subtle white wheat grain notes. A restrained herbal character emerges beneath the fruit, with only gentle acidity present. The lactobacillus fermentation contributes a soft, slightly tangy undertone without vinegar harshness.

◐ Taste

Entry reveals clean, tart fruit character centered on raspberry and berry notes, balanced by soft wheat sweetness. The mid-palate maintains the sour-fruit axis with crisp acidity and minimal hop expression allowing lactobacillus sourness to lead. Finish leans dry with lingering berry tartness and a papery grain character that keeps the palate engaged.

◑ Finish

Short to medium finish with clean, dry berry acidity persisting on the palate. The aftertaste trails toward grain dryness with a subtle puckering sensation from the lactobacillus fermentation.
