Raspberry Sour

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with delicate lacing. The carbonation is visible and lively, creating a gently effervescent impression characteristic of the style. The colour reflects the fruit-forward nature of this sour ale.

◌ Aroma

Raspberry dominates the nose with an intense, immediately recognisable fruit presence. Behind the berry character lies a subtle tartness and a clean, fermented quality from the house mixed culture. The aroma is juicy and inviting, with minimal hop or malt character—the fruit is unmistakably at the forefront.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bold, juicy raspberry fruit that fills the mouth immediately. Tartness builds through the mid-palate, creating a bright acidity that is balanced rather than harsh. The low IBU allows the fruit and sourness to take centre stage, while the delicate malt base provides just enough structure to support the dominant berry character.

◑ Finish

A crisp, dry finish follows the fruit's departure, with the house mixed culture's gentle sourness lingering pleasantly on the palate. The aftertaste remains refreshing and berry-tinged, without any sharp edges or lingering bitterness.
