This playful Wild Specialty Beer captures a sweet shop aesthetic through a vibrant blend of tart fruit and confectionary sweetness. Built upon a signature golden sour base, the experience is dominated by a lush, jammy raspberry character that provides a sharp, refreshing acidity. This brightness is expertly softened by the addition of smooth vanilla and creamy lactose, creating a nostalgic flavor profile reminiscent of a raspberry lollipop. The result is a highly accessible session sour that balances its zesty fruit profile with a velvety, rounded finish, highlighting the collaborative craftsmanship and the intent to create a smooth, dessert-like drinking experience.
Appearance.Vibrant raspberry red to deep pink; hazy to opaque. Pours with a moderate, pink-tinted head that shows fair retention for a sour style, leaving light lacing.
Aroma.High intensity. Potent aromas of fresh, jammy raspberries lead, followed by a strong, sweet vanilla presence. A clean, lactic sourness provides a tangy backdrop, with faint bready malt notes and a hint of creamy sweetness from lactose. Hop character is absent.
Taste.Sharp, tart raspberry impact initially, transitioning into a smooth, dessert-like mid-palate of vanilla and sweet cream. The golden sour base provides a subtle cereal grain foundation. Bitterness is non-existent, allowing the interplay of lactic acidity and lactose sweetness to dominate. The finish is lingering and fruity, ending on a balanced note of tart berry and velvety vanilla.
Mouthfeel.Medium body, enhanced by the addition of lactose to provide a silky, creamy texture that feels fuller than its ABV suggests. Moderate to high carbonation provides a refreshing prickle. No alcohol warmth; very low astringency.
