Lactic and funky aromas are quickly joined by lots of fresh raspberry and tart cherries. Earthy and woody aromas (and a trace of vanilla arise) as it warms. The beer is a very hazy rose color with a big foamy head that quickly drops out. The Champagne-like bubbles signal the coming effervescence. The tart raspberries and cherries combine with a huge lactic attack on the palate – think Warheads candies. Earthy funk intermingles with some toasty wheat malt, and hints of oak and vanilla sneak out of the aftertaste. Tannins and acidity aid in presenting a very dry finish, and a medium-light body with effervescent carbonation adds to the puckering effect as the tannins coat the mouth. Overall, super tart, super fresh, and not-quite ripe-raspberries and cherries blend beautifully within this funky, oaky wheat beer. An ultra-refreshing delight.
