This is an easy-drinking sour ale that offers a fairly substantial raspberry punch couple with restrained levels of acidity. It shows itself unfiltered, with a medium pink color coupled with very low head retention. Aroma notes feature fresh berries up front, but also supported by a soft, yeasty breadcrumb character. Contrary to Belgian lambics, the raspberry aroma and flavor of this beer were quite fresh, reflecting a more traditional yeast selection as well as shorting aging process. It finished relatively dry, with a medium carbonation and typical alcohol strength—a good sessionable beer and very approachable.
