Drekker Brewing Company

This decadent Wild Specialty Beer presents as a thick, smoothie-style sour, bursting with the vibrant essence of ripe Raspberry and lush Peach. The sensory journey is dominated by deep berry tartness and stone fruit sweetness, elevated by the signature addition of lactose and vanilla beans. These elements impart a creamy, dessert-like richness that rounds out the lactic acidity. A subtle touch of sea salt sharpens the fruit profile, enhancing the perceived intensity of the purees. Expect a lush, heavy-bodied experience where the jammy fruit character takes center stage, supported by a soft, velvety texture and a lingering, sweet-tart finish.

Appearance. Opaque, dense, and smoothie-like; deep pink-to-reddish purple hue from heavy raspberry additions. Pours with a thick, tinted pink head that dissipates relatively quickly, leaving heavy fruit pulp lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of jammy raspberry and fresh peach nectar. The bouquet is creamy and sweet, featuring prominent notes of vanilla beans and milk sugar. A very light lactic tartness sits in the background, but the primary focus is on succulent fruit character and confectionary sweetness.

Taste. Immediate explosion of tart raspberry and sweet, fuzzy peach. The malt base is obscured by the smoothie treatment, providing a sweet foundation of lactose and rich vanilla. The acidity is moderate, providing a necessary counterpoint to the sugary fruit puree. A faint salinity from sea salt emerges mid-palate, brightening the fruit. The finish is long and indulgent, tasting of fruit coulis and cream.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous, with a thick, coating texture typical of the smoothie style. Carbonation is moderate-low, providing just enough lift to the heavy body. Negligible alcohol warmth at 6.3% ABV. Extremely creamy and smooth, with no perceptible astringency.
