Single Hill Brewing

Raspberry Thief is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that captures the essence of a late-summer harvest. This Sour Blonde Ale bursts with the concentrated sensory profile of fresh, jammy raspberries, underpinned by a sharp, refreshing tartness. The wild fermentation introduces a nuanced complexity, blending subtle earthy funk with the fruit's natural acidity. At 6.9% ABV, it offers a sturdy but approachable backbone that supports the bold berry character without feeling heavy. The experience is defined by a bright, zingy palate and a crisp, dry finish that leaves a lingering impression of sun-ripened fruit and elegant wild yeast sophistication.

Appearance. Deep pink to ruby red hue with a slight haze. Pours with a moderate, pink-tinted head that shows modest retention and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh-picked raspberries and raspberry jam. Secondary notes include a clean lactic tartness and subtle funk—hints of hay and earthy leather. Very low grainy-sweet malt presence provides a neutral canvas for the fruit.

Taste. Immediate, high-impact raspberry flavor that transitions from jammy fruit to bright acidity. High tartness is balanced by a subtle, cracker-like malt base. No hop bitterness or flavor is perceived. The fermentation character adds complex acidity and light funky notes. Finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering berry skin tang.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that creates a prickly, refreshing sensation. Subtle alcohol warmth. A touch of fruit-derived tannin provides a slight, pleasant astringency that enhances the dry finish.
