Raspberry Sour

◎ Appearance

Pale salmon to light ruby in the glass, revealing excellent clarity with fine carbonation throughout. The head forms a delicate, persistent foam that leaves a gossamer lacing with each sip, characteristic of a well-crafted sour ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright, ripe raspberry—the dominant aromatic impression—layered with subtle oak wood notes and a gentle lactic tang. Behind the fruit lies a whisper of light malted grain, creating a complex but harmonious olfactory profile that invites closer inspection.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and welcoming, with immediate raspberry fruit character meeting a crisp, well-integrated lactic acidity. The mid-palate carries the fruit forward while oak-derived subtleties emerge—gentle tannin structure and woody notes—finishing with bright acidity that cuts cleanly across the palate without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is refreshing and moderately dry, with the acidity lingering pleasantly rather than aggressively. Raspberry notes fade gradually, leaving behind a subtle oak dryness and a clean, thirst-quenching aftertaste.
