Side Project Brewing

Side Project Raspe (Blend #1) is a vibrant Missouri Wild Ale showcasing an intense infusion of Decker Farms Oregon Red Raspberries. This Brett Beer exhibits a jammy fruit profile underpinned by the complexity of Missouri cultures and dual-oak maturation. French oak aging provides a structural backbone, while American Oak Foedres from Foeder Crafters of America impart a subtle breadth to the fruit character. The result is a lively, highly attenuated ale where the tart, floral notes of the berries meld seamlessly with earthy funk and refined wood tannins. It is a masterclass in fruit integration, balancing rustic fermentation layers with a crisp, dry finish.

Appearance. Brilliant deep pink to ruby red; produces a moderate, light pink head with fair retention and slight lacing; slight haze from fruit pectins and yeast.

Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by fresh, jammy Decker Farms Oregon Red Raspberries; secondary notes of earthy funk, wet hay, and floral esters from Missouri Brett cultures; subtle French oak spice and a hint of vanilla-like American oak.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of vibrant, tart raspberry flavor; malt is minimal, providing a crackery base for the fruit; Brett character offers moderate funk, dried hay, and stone fruit; very low bitterness; finish is exceptionally dry, crisp, and lingering with fruit skin and light wood tannin.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body; high carbonation providing a lively, spritzy prickle; light alcohol warmth; slight astringency from fruit seeds and oak tannins; clean and highly attenuated.
