Hors Sentiers Sure à la Framboise

Canada·Alcohol-Free Sour
Tap to rate

A raspberry sour without the alcohol, in the range since 2023. Fresh raspberry leads and stays in front from start to finish, and the acidity is pitched low: tart enough to carry the fruit, not so sharp that it takes the beer over. Underneath sits a malt base firm enough that the result still tastes of beer rather than of soft drink. The body is light and the finish clean and short.

Pale straw color with excellent clarity and a fine, delicate head that settles quickly. The carbonation is moderate and even, producing a steady stream of small bubbles that maintains a thin lacing around the glass throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

Fresh raspberry dominates the nose with bright, jammy character that remains true to the fruit without becoming artificial. A light, supporting malt foundation adds subtle cereal and grain notes, while the low bitterness keeps the overall profile clean and approachable.

◐ Taste

Bright raspberry leads immediately on entry and holds center through the mid-palate, supported by a tart acidity that provides structure without sharpness. The malt base is firm enough to ground the beer in genuine malty character rather than soft-drink sweetness, with a light body that allows the fruit to remain the primary focus.

◑ Finish

Clean and short, with the raspberry note fading briskly and the acidity resolving without lingering harshness. A faint malty memory remains at the very end.
