Bad Flash Raspberry

Tap to rate

Low bitterness, a pleasant acidity and a refreshing finish define this sour, the brewery's second, soured with Lactobacillus and fermented with top-fermenting yeast. 200 kg of fresh raspberries go into every 1,500 litres during maturation, on a base of Pilsner malt and Žatec hops, brewed to 12° Plato.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bad Flash Raspberry

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and bright, translucent character. A fine white head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass wall, leaving delicate lacing on the descent. Carbonation is visibly present and lively throughout.

◌ Aroma

Fresh raspberry dominates immediately, bright and jammy without cloying sweetness. Subtle herbal notes from Žatec hops provide gentle spice and restrained floral undertones. A faint cereality from the Pilsner malt base rounds the nose without heaviness.

◐ Taste

Sour and tart arrive on entry with real bite, carried by the Lactobacillus fermentation. Raspberry fruit develops mid-palate with natural acidity that feels crisp rather than harsh. Bitterness remains minimal at 10 IBU, allowing the fruit and acid to shape the entire palate experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and refreshingly brief, with raspberry notes trailing into a clean, slightly chalky aftertaste. No lingering sweetness or astringency; the drying quality invites another sip.
