◐ Taste

The palate delivers a pronounced, refreshing sourness that frames the beer's character throughout. Raspberry presence is clear and integrated, lending a natural tartness, while vanilla adds smoothness and roundness to the mid-palate. The full mouthfeel maintains excellent balance, preventing the acidity from becoming sharp or one-dimensional.
