Sofa Sour: Raspberry Creamsicle

Tap to rate

Raspberry dominates this one from start to finish. A big, jammy aroma leads into a punchy raspberry flavour, with a touch of bready malt underneath for support. The body is light, the sourness balanced rather than aggressive, and a little residual sweetness rounds the fruit off in the creamsicle manner. The finish is clean and short, with no hop character to speak of.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with punchy raspberry fruit that carries the core flavour throughout. A light, bready maltiness provides structure and sweetness, while the acidity remains balanced and approachable rather than sharp. A touch of residual sweetness rounds out the creamsicle profile, creating a soft, almost custard-like sensation on the tongue.
