Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Philadelphia Sour Malina

◎ Appearance

Philadelphia Sour Malina presents a deep raspberry hue, cloudiness from suspended pulp creating a soft, hazy visual character. The carbonation is moderate and even, with a delicate, short-lived foam that settles quickly into a thin collar.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by fresh raspberry fruit, sweet and jammy in intensity, with subtle wheaten notes providing a soft grain base. Earthy undertones from the brewery's own pressed hops add complexity without aggression, creating an inviting, fruit-forward aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced acidity that frames bright raspberry flavour throughout the mid-section, balanced by natural fruit sweetness. Wheat and oat malt contribute a smooth, slightly creamy texture; the bitterness remains restrained at 9 IBU, allowing tartness and fruit to dominate the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and crisp, with lingering raspberry tartness fading into a clean, refreshing aftertaste. No astringency persists; the acidity cleanses rather than sharpens.
