Free Time Raspberry Sour

◎ Appearance

Pours a pale pink, the color supplied entirely by generous raspberry addition rather than grain. The beer presents itself with clarity and brightness, holding a modest white head that dissipates steadily. Carbonation is present and even, lending a crisp visual liveliness to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads immediately with fresh raspberry, offering a bright and slightly jammy impression without cloying sweetness. Beneath the fruit sits a subtle saline character and a gentle tartness that frames the berries rather than competing with them. The overall aromatics remain clean and inviting, free from fermentation esters or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is dominated by berry flavor with pronounced tartness—the acidity sharpens rather than softens the characteristic salt of the gose style. Mid-palate delivers unexpected fullness for an alcohol-free beer, with the raspberry maintaining presence and the salt enhancing rather than rounding the sour edge. The profile stays dry throughout, avoiding any residual sweetness that might muddy the interplay of fruit and acid.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and persistent, with the sourness exiting cleanly on the back of the palate. Raspberry lingers gently in the aftertaste without turning flat or bitter.
