🌍 United States · Farmhouse Ale · One of 13 Farmhouse Ales in hopIQ

Light-bodied and refreshing, the Brambleberry opens with bright citrus and a burst of raspberry that carries through to a tart, fruity finish. The farmhouse character comes through rustic and dry, without heaviness—real berry depth rather than sweetness defines the experience. At 4.6 percent, this is a beer for afternoons when you want flavor without weight, the kind that quenches as much as it interests. Serve cool.

Aroma

Bright citrus notes lead the charge, followed by a distinct raspberry character that feels herbaceous and natural rather than extracted. The farmhouse yeast contributes subtle spice and a dry, earthy undertone that anchors the fruit without obscuring it.

Taste

The entry is light and crisp, with immediate berry fruit that balances tartness against a lean, dry grain base. Mid-palate maintains tension between the citrus and raspberry notes, while the finish cuts clean with a refreshing acidity that prevents any cloying sensation and invites the next sip.
