Sofa Sour: Black Raspberry Milkshake

◎ Aussehen

Deep pink and hazy, presenting a light pink head with fine lacing on the glass. High carbonation is evident in the persistent bubble structure. The haziness comes through the haze from yeast, creating a soft, opaque appearance characteristic of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose is lifted by aggressive carbonation, releasing prominent black raspberry and blackberry aromatics. A citric twang cuts through the berry notes, adding brightness and complexity. No hop character is discernible; the aromatic profile is entirely fruit-driven.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with blackberry briefly before tart raspberry dominates the mid-palate. Sourness leads throughout with a clean, acidic bite that defines the drinking experience. A light lactose addition rounds the finish with a creamy, soft mouthfeel that contrasts pleasantly with the tartness.

◑ Abgang

The finish maintains the sour character with lingering raspberry acidity. The creamy lactose impression fades gradually, leaving a clean, refreshing aftertaste with no hop bitterness.
