Aphrodite

Netherlands·Fruited Sour
Tap to rate

A kettle sour with a deep pink hue, coloured by what the brewers call a grotesque amount of raspberries. Expect a delicious raspberry fruit character with a tart edge, and drinkability the brewery rates as eminent. Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love, is one of Walhalla's seasonal beers, and the colour in the glass tells you why.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Aphrodite

◎ Appearance

A striking deep pink hue dominates the glass, born from the brewers' generous hand with raspberries. The beer presents excellent clarity with bright carbonation visible throughout. A fine white head forms and clings to the glass with persistence, leaving delicate traces of lacing as you drink.

◌ Aroma

Raspberry dominates the nose with a fresh, jammy intensity that announces itself immediately. A gentle tartness underlies the fruit, with subtle background notes of light Malz character. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no rough edges or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a burst of ripe raspberry character, immediately balanced by a crisp, pleasantly sour edge. The mid-palate reveals good complexity—the tartness integrates with the fruit without overwhelming it, while the low IBU allows the fruit to remain the focal point. The finish is dry and refreshing, with the sourness persisting gently.
