Sour Ale 8.5 º

B&B Craft Beer

This Raspberry Sour Ale presents a vibrant rose-to-ruby hue, delivering an intense sensory tribute to the eighties. High-intensity raspberry aromatics lead the profile, intertwined with bright citrus notes and the sharp, clean acidity characteristic of a wild fermentation. Despite its substantial 8.5% ABV, the beer maintains a refreshing quality where the fruit's natural tartness replaces residual sweetness. The palate is dominated by a zesty lactic sourness and deep red berry character, finishing exceptionally dry. It strikes a unique balance between a medium-bodied structure and a crisp, effervescent mouthfeel, ensuring the raspberry remains the focal point from the initial aroma to the lingering, acidic finish.

Appearance. Deep pink to reddish-ruby in color with a slight haze. The head is light pink, composed of fine bubbles with low persistence and minimal lacing.

Aroma. High intensity raspberry fruit dominates, presenting as fresh and slightly jammy. Supporting notes of lemon zest provide a citrusy edge. Clean lactic sourness is evident, with very low funky esters and no detectable hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is sharply acidic and fruit-forward. Intense raspberry flavor persists throughout, supported by a subtle grainy malt back-end. Bitterness is virtually absent. The fermentation is clean and wild-characterized, leading to a dry finish with a lingering, tart red-fruit aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body that feels lighter and leaner due to high acidity. Carbonation is moderate-to-high, providing a prickly, refreshing sensation. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
