◌ Aroma

The nose leads with tart red berries—cherry and raspberry dominate, supported by a sweeter blueberry undertone. There is a subtle tartness in the background, with delicate pilsner malt providing a light, clean foundation. No hop character intrudes; instead, the fruit adjuncts occupy the entire aromatic stage.

◐ Taste

On the palate, sourness strikes immediately with assertive tartness that never becomes harsh or vinegary. The berry profile unfolds across the mid-palate—tart raspberry and bright cherry balanced against subtle sweetness—while the light body and crisp minerality keep the beer refreshing and drinkable. Bitterness remains minimal, allowing the fruit and acid to lead without interference.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and moderately short, leaving a pleasant tart cherry and raspberry impression on the palate. A gentle acidic tingle persists, inviting the next sip rather than lingering heavily.
