Pravda Brewery

Pravda’s Sour Ale with Raspberry presents a vibrant, refreshing profile defined by the bright, juicy essence of fresh raspberries. This Wild Specialty Beer balances its lactic tartness with a smooth, creamy texture derived from the addition of lactose, preventing the acidity from becoming sharp. The fermentation profile is clean yet characteristically tangy, allowing the natural berry esters to lead the experience. Hints of jammy fruit and a soft malt backbone provide a gentle sweetness that rounds out the crisp finish. It is a light-bodied, effervescent ale designed for high drinkability, showcasing a harmonious marriage between berry tartness and milky sweetness.

Appearance. Brilliant ruby-red to deep pink hue with a slight hazy shimmer. The head is light pink, composed of fine bubbles with moderate to low retention, leaving a delicate ring of lacing.

Aroma. High aroma intensity dominated by fresh, jammy raspberries and a clean, sharp lactic acidity. A subtle sweetness reminiscent of milk sugar sits in the background. Low bready malt notes are present, but hop aroma is absent. Esters are primarily berry-forward.

Taste. A vibrant burst of tart raspberry opens the palate, followed quickly by a smoothing sweetness from the lactose. The acidity is firm but balanced, characteristic of a lactic fermentation. Hop bitterness is negligible, allowing the fruit’s natural acidity to provide structure. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with a lingering raspberry aftertaste and a clean, slightly off-dry sweetness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a noticeably smooth, creamy texture from the lactose addition. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a refreshing prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is absent, and there is no significant astringency.
