Avery Brewing’s Raspberry Sour is a vibrant Straight Sour Beer that showcases a harmonious interplay between luscious ripe red raspberries and a bracing lactic acidity. The sensory journey begins with an intense bouquet of fresh-picked berries, layered over a subtle, crackery malt backbone. On the palate, the assertive tartness is elegantly balanced by the fruit's natural sweetness, leading to a crisp, dry finish. Effervescent and refreshing, this ale highlights a clean fermentation character with delicate lemony nuances. It masterfully integrates fruit intensity into a structural sour framework, delivering a sophisticated profile that is both sharp and elegantly nuanced.
Appearance.A vibrant reddish-pink hue (SRM 6-10) derived from fruit; hazy appearance; moderate pinkish-white head with relatively poor retention; highly effervescent with fine bubbles.
Aroma.High intensity of fresh-picked red raspberries; dominant sharp lactic sourness similar to lemon juice; low biscuity and crackery malt notes; no hop aroma; clean fermentation profile with subtle tart apple esters.
Taste.Initial impression is sharply sour and fruity; dominant tart raspberry flavor supported by a clean, grainy malt backbone; undetectable hop bitterness (sub-8 IBU); bright lactic acidity provides a puckering quality without being vinegary; finish is crisp and dry with a lingering tart berry aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body; high carbonation; crisp acidity with a sharp, refreshing bite; negligible alcohol warmth at 5.8% ABV; very low astringency from fruit skins.
