Lervig’s Hype Dream Raspberry & Blackberry is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that leans into an indulgent pastry-inspired aesthetic. An intense purée of raspberry and blackberry drives a thick, jammy profile, offering a sharp burst of forest berries balanced by a refreshing acidity. The addition of flaked oats and lactose creates a luxuriously soft, rounded body that tempers the tartness, leading to a smooth, creamy finish. This expression focuses on a decadent fruit-forward experience, where the natural zing of the berries is artfully harmonized with a dessert-like sweetness and a velvety mouthfeel.

Appearance. Striking deep magenta to dark purple hue; opaque and hazy due to heavy fruit solids and flaked oats. A dense, pink-tinted head shows moderate retention with some fruit-stained lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of jammy raspberry and tart blackberry. A distinct creamy sweetness from lactose suggests milk sugar and vanilla, while a clean lactic tartness provides a bright counterpoint. Low bready malt notes from the oats are present, with minimal fermentation funk.

Taste. The initial impression is a vivid, juicy explosion of forest fruits. Tart raspberry and rich blackberry flavors dominate the palate, supported by a refreshing acidity typical of a wild fermentation base. The mid-palate is softened by lactose sweetness, balancing the fruit's natural tang. Bitterness is negligible. The finish is smooth and lingering, with a clean berry aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable thickness and viscosity from the fruit purée and oats. Carbonation is moderate. The lactose provides a creamy, coating texture with no significant alcohol warmth or astringency.
