This 2024 vintage of Raspberry & Funk presents as a vibrant, rustic Farmhouse Ale that elegantly balances fruit and wild fermentation character. The addition of raspberries imparts a deep, rose-colored brilliance and a bright, jammy tartness. Complementing the fruit is a notable funky complexity—earthy, leathery, and subtly hay-like—that melds with the classic Saison yeast profile of cracked black pepper and citrus esters. It is highly attenuated and effervescent, delivering a bone-dry, refreshing finish where the natural acidity of the raspberries provides a crisp counterpoint to the grainy, rustic malt backbone. The result is a complex, multi-layered ale that celebrates both the orchard and the farm.
Appearance.Vivid ruby-pink to deep raspberry-red hue; persistent, dense, mousse-like pinkish-white head with excellent lacing; hazy to opaque due to fruit solids and lack of filtration.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity; dominant fresh raspberry and red currant fruitiness layered over a funky, earthy wild yeast character. Peppery phenolics and a hint of lemon zest are present, backed by a light, grainy wheat malt aroma and low floral hop notes.
Taste.Initial burst of tart raspberry juice and skin, followed by a complex interplay of spicy yeast and rustic funk. Very low perceived hop bitterness, as the fruit's acidity drives the balance. Malt flavor is soft and grainy. Bone-dry, highly attenuated finish with a lingering, tart fruit and earthy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a prickly, highly effervescent carbonation. Refreshing and crisp with a slight tannic astringency from the raspberry seeds and skins. No noticeable alcohol warmth.
