Lips Like Sugar is a vibrant Wild Specialty Beer that balances a trio of dark berries with a nuanced savory edge. A lush bouquet of fresh Raspberry and deep, earthy Blueberry dominates the foreground, supported by the stone-fruit richness of Cherry. The wild fermentation introduces a crisp lactic acidity that brightens the fruit profile, while an infusion of Thyme provides a sophisticated, herbal counterpoint that lingers on the palate. This complex marriage of forest fruit and garden herbs results in a refreshing, dry, and elegantly funky experience, showcasing a masterful integration of tartness and botanical depth.
Appearance.A striking, deep magenta to ruby-red hue with a slight haze from the fruit addition. It carries a pink-tinted, frothy head with moderate retention and light lacing.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of jammy Raspberry and tart Cherry, followed by the earthy notes of Blueberry. A distinct, savory Thyme character provides an herbal layer, complemented by a clean lactic sourness and a faint, rustic funk.
Taste.Leading with a sharp, refreshing lactic acidity, the palate is filled with layered fruit flavors. Raspberry provides a bright tartness, while Blueberry and Cherry add depth and a light skin-tannin structure. The Thyme provides a resinous, herbal mid-palate that balances the fruit. It finishes bone-dry and clean with lingering berry esters.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high, spritzy carbonation that enhances the perceived acidity. Very low alcohol warmth and a slight, pleasant astringency from the fruit skins.
